Ingredients

Scale

Crepe Batter

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • ½ cup water
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ cup canned pumpkin
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

Pumpkin Cream Filling

  • 23 tablespoons canned pumpkin
  • 8 oz softened cream cheese
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar

Optional Garnish

  • Pumpkin spice or cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a blender, combine eggs, milk, water, salt, and ⅛ cup canned pumpkin. Blend just until smooth to combine.
  2. Add Flour: Add the flour to the blender and pulse just enough to incorporate it without overmixing, preserving a light texture.
  3. Heat Pan and Add Butter: Place 2 tablespoons of butter in a small skillet and heat over medium heat until melted and hot.
  4. Cook Crepes: Pour about ¼ cup of batter into the pan, swirling it to cover the bottom evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the underside is lightly browned.
  5. Flip Crepe: Using a small pancake turner, gently flip the crepe and cook for another 1 to 1½ minutes until cooked through and golden.
  6. Prepare Filling: Soften cream cheese and place in a medium bowl. Whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, then add vanilla extract and powdered sugar, continuing to whip gently.
  7. Combine Filling: Add softened cream cheese to the whipped cream mixture in small portions, folding gently to blend smoothly.
  8. Add Pumpkin: Stir in 2 to 3 tablespoons of canned pumpkin into the cream mixture if you prefer a pumpkin-flavored filling.
  9. Fill Crepes: Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the pumpkin cream filling onto each crepe, roll them up carefully.
  10. Garnish and Serve: Optionally sprinkle pumpkin spice or cinnamon over the filled crepes for added flavor and presentation. Serve immediately and enjoy.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to ensure tender crepes.
  • You can omit pumpkin in the batter or filling for a more traditional crepe.
  • Use a non-stick skillet for easier crepe cooking and flipping.
  • Filling can be prepared ahead and refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
  • For a lighter option, use reduced-fat cream cheese and lighter cream alternatives.
  • Pumpkin spice or cinnamon garnish adds a warming aromatic touch perfect for autumn.
