My all time favorite breakfast is crepes and hardly ever are the stars aligned where I have cream cheese and fresh strawberries for the ultimate filling….especially in the winter (sorry, I’m not usually in the mood to spend $2+ a pound for strawberries). So, I came up with this filling. It’s a close second in my book and actually, my husband liked it better than the fresh strawberries. It has a nice “fresh” taste with a lot of combined fruit flavors and is really easy to whip up. And of course, I topped it with some Raspberry Syrup-I wasn’t kidding when I said it was my new favorite!
Sunshine Crepe Filling
4 oz. cream cheese
1 1/2 T. orange marmalade (don’t worry, it doesn’t taste “marmalad-ey” it just helps to give the orange flavor)
1 T. sugar
1 medium banana
1 1/2 – 2 c. freeze dried strawberries (hydrate only half and add the other as dry)
Blend ingredients in blender.
I also know, that some people are very scared of making crepes because they seem hard, or maybe at least fragile to make. So I did a quickie (and I mean quickie) video of how to do it, check it out below!
Boy you really finally made me understand how to do crepes and the flipping part looks easier using a fork and your fingersl. I've tried one time using a spatula and it was terrible, I never tried again and now I will. Thanks Crystal….your little tummy looks so cute!
Hi Crystal,
I was reading your latest entry about crepes. The video that shows how to make the crepes doesn't show up. There is just a blank square where it should be. I just thought you might like to know that in case it's not just my computer that won't bring it up. I love all the great information you give us.
You were fabulous on the Living Essentials presentation.
Your video worked great for me–and I tried it Easter morning. I can't believe that it was that easy! Easy to make, flip and clean up. . . and even easier to eat! My family thanks you! A great new tradition has been started. Thanks for all you do. . . .love your book too. My husband bought it for me for Easter, but the funny thing was I already had it and have been making things from it for months 🙂
