Mini Cheese Crepes with Cinnamon Pecan Cream Sauce

My friend Goldie shared this with me years ago and I pull it out each Shavuot. If I forget, my kids remind me as it’s one of their favorites. It’s really a dessert but I’ve been guilty of serving it alongside a dreamy dairy meal.

Crepes:

• 6 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla sugar
• ⅛ teaspoon baking soda
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 ½ cups flour
• 1 ½ cups milk
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• Canola oil

Filling:

• 1 pound farmer cheese
• ½ cup whipped cream cheese 4-ounces

Cinnamon Pecan Topping:

• 5 tablespoons butter
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• ½ teaspoon maple syrup
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

For Crepes:

• In a large bowl, gently mix all ingredients until smooth but do not overmix.
• Let the batter rest for about 15 minute and up to overnight.
• In a 6-inch sauté pan, heat ½ teaspoon oil.
• When oil is hot, add about 2 tablespoons batter and swirl around the pan.
• Cook until lightly browned, about 1-2 minutes, flip and cook on the other side.
• Remove from the pan, and continue making individual crepes, using all of the batter.
• Cover to keep cooked crepes warm.

For Filling:

• In a medium sized bowl, mix all ingredients until smooth. Set aside.
• Spoon about 1 tablespoon filling into the crepe.
• Spread a bit, leaving a ½-inch border.
• Roll gently and set aside.

For Topping:

• In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
• Stir in cream, brown sugar, maple syrup and cinnamon.
• Cook, whisking constantly, until sugar dissolves and mixture thickens lightly, about 3-4 minutes.

To serve:

• Lay warm, filled crepes in a decorative 9 x 13 pan.
• Warm sauce and pour over crepes.
• Top with toasted pecans.
