Crepes are probably the most-requested breakfast recipe in our family. If you’re like us and love a good batch of crepes, or are just looking for something new to try this season, I highly recommend these Christmas Crepes with Mint Sweet Cream Filling. They’re perfect for the holiday, and taste super delicious! Not only that, but they’re quick to make – because who really has a ton of extra time this week?!

They love it when we whip up a batch of our popular crepes recipe, so I thought that we’d celebrate our first day on holiday break by switching it up a bit and trying something new. I surprised them with these amazing Christmas Crepes for snack, and they were thrilled! I’m sure half that excitement was just for the sprinkles because, well, kids – you know how it is 🙂

Makes about 6 small Christmas Crepes

Ingredients – Crepes

• 1 tbsp. Sugar
• 2 tbsp. Coconut Oil, melted
• 1/2 tbsp. Vanilla Extract
• Dash of Salt
• 2 Large Eggs
• 1 cup Milk
• 1/2 cup Water
• 1 cup Flour
• 1 tbsp. Cocoa Powder
• Red Food Color (optional) – I used about 8 drops

Ingredients – Mint Sweet Cream Filling

• 8 oz. Cream Cheese, softened
• 1/4 tsp. Lemon Juice
• 1 cup Powdered Sugar (plus more if needed for desired consistency)
• 1/4 cup Ricotta Cheese
• 1/2 tsp. Vanilla Extract
• 1/2 tsp. Mint Extract

Optional: Sprinkles, Powdered Sugar for sprinkling on top, Chocolate Drizzle

Directions

1. Combine all of the CREPE ingredients in either your blender or a larger bowl or mixer. Blend/mix very well so it’s no longer lumpy.
2. Take a small frying pan, spray it with cooking spray, then heat up over medium-low heat. Scoop about 1/4 cup batter into the pan and watch carefully as it cooks.
3. When the edges are starting to come up and the crepe slides a bit when you shake the pan side to side, it’s time to flip it over. Don’t over cook!
4. Spray your pan before each crepe, and continue through the batter.
5. Prepare the mint sweet cream filling by mixing all of the ingredients together until smooth. If it’s runnier than you’d like, add more powdered sugar.
6. Fill the finished crepes with filling, then roll up and top as desired (I did powdered sugar and festive sprinkles). Enjoy!

I love doing special holiday recipes for the family, especially when it’s something they enjoy so much. I think these would also be perfect for times like Valentine’s Day even – just switch out the green sprinkles for something pink or silver perhaps!

I do think these may be better as a snack or dessert, being a bit too sweet for breakfast. Wait, is that even possible?!
