crepes are one of those things that I could eat morning, noon, and night and never get bored

sweet or savory it doesn’t really matter 

tiramisu crepes

we usually have them for breakfast with fresh fruit or syrup

sometimes both

but I also love them filled with cheese and any leftover meat and veggies we have in the fridge

the kids will even grab one to snack on completely plain

but these tiramisu crepes are my new favorite way to enjoy them

I cannot remember the first time I had tiramisu, but I do know it was love at first bite. Along with creme brulee, it is at the top of my favorite dessert list. Strangely, it is one dessert that I have never even attempted to make at home.

So when I found myself craving tiramisu but not wanting to leave the house in search of lady fingers, I improvised

tiramisu crepes

with a little espresso powder in the crepe batter, sweetened mascarpone for the filling, whipped cream and some cocoa on top, I had all the flavors that I love in tiramisu in a delicious dessert crepe

  • pour 1/4 cup of batter in the well heated pan
