Coffee Mascarpone Cream Crepes

 

Crepes has been on my list of foods to try making for quite some time now. I am definitely a fan of eating crepes, but have never tried to make them. When I got the opportunity to try some store bought crepes in exchange for my opinion I jumped at the chance to do it. The crepes were delicious, just not worth the price in my opinion, but the filling, oh my the filling is to die for, so delicious.

I did not have enough crepes for the amount of cream this recipe made, but that was not a problem for me. This cream made an indulgent and delicious dessert. I was more than happy to eat a bowl full of this cream. If you do not want a bunch of leftover cream to eat by the delicious bowlful, or plan on making a bunch of crepes, the recipe is easy to cut in half and only make a half batch.

Next time I make these crepes, and hopefully I will actually make the crepes I am going to add some mini chocolate chips to a few for a delicious mocha taste.
