CRÊPE EXPECTATIONS
Ingredients:
4 eggs, beaten
1 cup flour
1 cup 1/2 & 1/2
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Filling:
8 ounce Neufchâtel cheese
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup marshmallow creme
1 cup powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 cup sliced almonds
Directions:
Combine eggs, flour, 1/2 & 1/2, butter, and sea salt. Beat until smooth. Let stand 30 minutes. For each crêpe, pour scant 1/4 cup batter into hot, greased 8-inch skillet rotating to distribute batter evenly. Cook on one side. Flip and lightly brown. Stack on plate to cool.
For filling combine softened Neufchâtel cheese and butter; mix well. Stir in marshmallow creme. Add sugar and extract; mix well. Fold in nuts. Fill each crêpe with 3 tablespoons cream cheese mixture; roll up. Add sliced strawberries, raspberries, seedless grapes. Top with whipped cream.
Neufchâtel cheese makes everything better!

I made crepes recently using instant pancake mix (adding extra water) and lots of butter in the pie. 🙂
