Ingredients
- 1 recipe Sweet Crepes, recipe follows
- 1/4 cup your favorite sweet fruit liqueur (recommended: Kirschwasser, Framboise, Grand Marnier)
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 4 to 5 cups assorted summer fruits, such as sliced strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, blueberries and cherries (pits removed)
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 pound Creole cream cheese or fresh farmer's cheese
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
Directions
Prepare the sweet crepes and set aside at room temperature while you prepare the fruit sauce and Creole cream cheese filling.
In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons fruit liqueur, cornstarch and water and stir until well blended. In a 4 quart saucepan, add the butter, sugar, and cornstarch mixture and heat over medium-high until hot, about 1 minute. Add 3 cups of the summer fruits and bring mixture to a simmer. Cook for another 3 to 5 minutes, or until thickened. Remove from heat, add 1 teaspoon of the vanilla extract and the almond extract. Stir to combine and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the Creole cream cheese, powdered sugar, honey and remaining tablespoon of vanilla extract and stir until smooth.
When ready to serve, divide the cream cheese mixture evenly among the 12 crepes. Divide the remaining fresh fruit over the tops of the crepes, then roll the crepes into tight cylinders. Place 2crepes in the center of a plate, spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of the warm fruit sauce over the crepes, and dust with powdered sugar. Serve immediately.
Sweet Crepes:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 large eggs, beaten
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk
- Pinch salt
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
Whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, salt sugar, vanilla and 3 tablespoons of the butter to form a smooth, thin batter. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before proceeding.
Heat a heavy 6-inch skillet or crepe pan over medium-high heat. When hot, brush with a light coating of the remaining butter. Ladle about 2 ounces of crepe batter into the pan, tilting the skillet to evenly coat the pan with batter. Cook until golden brown on the bottom and the top begins to look dry, 1 to 2 minutes. Using a spatula, carefully turn the crepe and cook on the second side just until the bottom colors slightly, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate and cover loosely with waxed paper to keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter.
Yield: 12- 6inch crepes

This was SO GOOOOD!!!
I have not written a review though I have made this recipe 4 times now. Family favorite! I had to substitute Philadelphia cream cheese instead of Creole. I cant find Creole in our area. I hope to post a picture of it on my blog the next round I make it. It so fun to make it for family because it makes around 10 -12 crepes depending on the size of you crepe. Just be mindful that you might want to double the Berry sauce if you like indulging in a lot of it. Its just enough for 8 crepes without any leftovers and about 2 tablespoons per crepe. Adding more water in the beginning will help thin it out and still have good flavor if you choose not to double the recipe. But follow recipe one time and then decide for yourself if you need to double the batch.

Very tasty & great over a fruit crepe. I made my crepe stuffing with Creme Fraiche instead of Creole Cream Cheese.

I love to make new things especially ones that are easy. When I first when to the store to find some of these items it was a bit difficult, but well worth it. I made these for my part of our family brunch for Easter. Everyone loved these!!! They were easy to make and looked like you spent hours preparing. The custard is like heaven. If you are looking for something unique and heavenly you have found the right recipe & you have to love Emeril!!!
