As mentioned in the blog on crepes generally, French crepes are what we think of when the word “crepes” is mentioned. They can be filled with savory or sweet fillings and the type of crepe depends on the filling. Classically savory crepes use buckwheat flour whereas sweet crepes use King Arthur All Purpose Flour. The following recipe is for a crepe that will be filled with a sweet filling.
The filling for the classic French sweet crepe are legion. The one that follows is a classical filling, simple withonly 4 ingredients. Add fresh strawberries on top of the final crepe. Your guests will be impressed and their sweet “teeth” satisfied.
Mascarpone Cream Crepe Filling with Strawberries
Ingredients
- 2 Cups Heavy Cream, organic
- 6 ounces Mascarpone Cheese
- 2 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
- ½ Cup Powdered Sugar
Instructions
- Place the heavy cream, at room temperature, in a bowl and beat until peaks form.
- Fold and mix in the Mascarpone, vanilla and powdered sugar
- Fill the crepes and serve warmed.
You can fill these as in the picture, in a V shapped cup, or add filling and just roll them. I think the V shapped cup is a much nicer presentation. I cut the crepes in half since they are filling and a whole crepe filled with this delicious Mascarpone would be very very filling.
