Everyone knows that the best part of a crepe is what is inside. This easy cream cheese mousse crepe filling is the perfect thing to fill your crepe with.
What is a crepe?
If you aren’t familiar with a crepe (pronounced “krape” rhymes with grape), it is a thin French pancake that is filled with yumminess and then either folded or rolled up. Crepes can be filled with both savory and sweet ingredients. My favorite is of course the sweet kind.
I love making crepes for a family breakfast or a party. One of my favorite bridal showers I’ve given was this Crepe Bar Bridal Shower.
It is easy to make your crepes ahead of time and then just let people fill them with their favorite fillings.
Crepe Filling Ideas
Usually when we make crepes we go for the fast and easy version. A can of whipped cream (the kind you spray out of the can, so fun!), berries of our choice (strawberries, raspberries). We just pile it on and enjoy. Another favorite crepe filling is a layer of nutella topped with sliced bananas or strawberries. Even better yet is a layer of lemon curd with some berries and whip cream!
When I want to get a little more fancy though I love to make a cream cheese mousse crepe filling. This was perfect for the bridal shower.
How to Make Cream Cheese Mousse Crepe Filling
Melt cream cheese and sugar together. Do this over a medium low heat in a small saucepan, don’t let the mixture come to a boil. Low and slow is the key. Allow this mixture to cool before adding in the rest of the ingredients. If you need to hurry up the process, put it in the refrigerator.
Whip your cream. Using a chilled bowl and beater will help your cream whip easier and faster. I just stick my bowl in the refrigerator for ten minutes. You will whip the cream and yogurt or sour cream, sugar and vanilla together until you have medium peaks. Don’t over beat and turn it into butter! You can find my tips for making whipped cream here.
Fold the two mixtures together. Don’t over mix this, gently fold them together. You want it light and fluffy.
Keep refrigerated until read to use.
White Chocolate Mousse Crepe Filling Recipe
For the shower I made three different crepe fillings. My favorite of the three fillings I made was the White Chocolate Mousse. But the filling that disappeared the fastest was the Cream Cheese Mousse. They were all so good. I may or may not have eaten some of the leftovers straight out of the bowl, with just a spoon, no crepe. I also made a chocolate mousse filling.
The great thing about the mousse filling is I could make them all the night before and just keep them in the refrigerator until the morning of the shower.
