Ingredients
Scale
Crepe Batter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons cane sugar
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 2 cups almond milk or dairy milk
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Mascarpone Filling
- 8 ounces mascarpone cheese
- 1 tablespoon almond milk or dairy milk
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Browning the Butter: Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, whisking continuously for 2 to 3 minutes until it becomes golden brown with a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
- Preparing the Batter: In a blender, combine all-purpose flour, cane sugar, ground cinnamon, canned pumpkin puree, almond or dairy milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Pulse the mixture until smooth and evenly blended. Add the browned butter and blend again until fully incorporated.
- Cooking the Crepes: Lightly coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Pour a small ladle of batter into the center, swirling the pan to spread the batter into a thin, even layer. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 1 minute. Carefully flip with a spatula and cook the other side for 30 seconds. Transfer cooked crepe to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
- Making the Mascarpone Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine mascarpone cheese and milk. Using an electric mixer, whisk until smooth and creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar while mixing until the filling is fully combined and fluffy.
- Assembling the Crepes: Spread a generous amount of mascarpone filling over each crepe. Fold or roll the crepes as desired and add extra filling if preferred. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- For the smoothest crepes, blend the batter until completely smooth.
- Letting the batter rest for 10 minutes before cooking improves texture and makes crepes more tender.
- Use a nonstick skillet and light cooking spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy flipping.
- Adjust the filling sweetness by adding more or less powdered sugar to taste.
- These crepes are best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 1 day and gently reheated.
