Description
These Pumpkin Crepes with Pumpkin Filling are light, golden crepes wrapped around a rich, fluffy pumpkin cream filling. Perfect for fall mornings or a cozy dessert that tastes like pumpkin pie in crepe form.
Ingredients
For the Crepes:
1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 1/4 cups (300 ml) milk
1/4 cup (60 ml) water
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (plus more for cooking)
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt
For the Pumpkin Filling:
1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream or whipping cream
4 oz (115 g) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup (120 g) pumpkin puree
1/4 cup (50 g) brown sugar
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or cinnamon + nutmeg + ginger)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Toppings:
Whipped cream
Maple syrup or caramel drizzle
Crushed pecans or walnuts
A dusting of cinnamon or powdered sugar
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
2. In another bowl, whisk eggs, milk, water, vanilla, and melted butter.
3. Slowly pour wet ingredients into the dry, whisking until smooth and lump-free.
4. Let the batter rest for 10–15 minutes to make tender crepes.
5. Heat a nonstick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly butter it.
6. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the center, swirling the pan to coat evenly.
7. Cook for 1–2 minutes or until edges lift easily and bottom is golden. Flip and cook another 20–30 seconds.
8. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter.
9. In a bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add pumpkin puree, brown sugar, pumpkin spice, and vanilla.
10. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream to soft peaks. Fold into the pumpkin mixture until fluffy.
11. Spread or pipe pumpkin filling down the center of each crepe. Fold or roll crepes and top with whipped cream, syrup, and nuts.
Notes
Tips:
– Let the crepe batter rest before cooking for smoother, softer crepes.
– Keep crepes warm under foil while cooking the rest.
– For extra fall flavor, add a dash of nutmeg or ginger to the batter.
– These crepes pair perfectly with coffee or chai.
