Awesome autumn pumpkin crepes. Easy to make and sure to please. Fantastic as a make ahead dish for Sunday brunch.
Make Crepe batter:
Whisk together 1st three ingredients (flour, sugar, salt). Make a well in center and add 3/4 c. milk, the eggs, and 3 TBSP butter. Whisk to blend. Add the rest of the 3/4 c. milk. Whisk to smooth, very wet batter. Set aside.
Make the topping:
Mix 2 TBSP melted butter with 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Stir. and set aside.
Make Whipped Cream:
Pour the heavy cream into a clean dry glass or steel bowl. Whip with mixer until frothy, about 1 minute. Add the vanilla and confectioners sugar and beat to smooth, stiff peaks. Should make approximately 3 cups.
Make the Pumpkin Filling:
In mixer bowl, beat cream cheese, pumpkin, 1/4 c. sugar, and the 4 spices until smooth. Fold in 1 1/2 c whipped cream.
Cook the Crepes:
Heat 10-12 inch non-stick pan to medium high heat. Brush with melted butter. Turn to medium heat. Ladle 1/4 c. batter into pan and tilt pan in a swirl motion to coat bottom of pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes until you see some browning on the bottom when looking underneath. Carefully flip and cook 1 more minute until lightly browned on the other side. Place on cooling rack and repeat until all of the batter is used.
Assemble:
Lay crepe out on a large plate place a line of desired amount of pumpkin filling down the center. Fold to close crepe. Drizzle the sugar, butter, cinnamon topping over top. Add a dollop of the extra whipped cream. Serve immediately or make ahead and refrigerate the items separately until ready to serve, then assemble.
This seems like a lot of steps but it really does come together easily in under an hour if you have all the ingredients pre-measured and ready to go. It is a great company pleaser! You can even make the crepes a day or two in advance to speed it along. Make the filling ahead less than 24 hours and store in the refrigerator.
