Crepe fillings?

What is your favorite crepe fillings and the recipes. I had one years ago with a light cream (almost like a whip cream) with sprinkles on each end. It was delicious.

Crepe fillings?
Caramel Apple Crepes


* 3/4 cup all-purpose flour


* 1/3 cup water


* 1/3 cup milk


* 2 eggs


* 2 tablespoons granulated sugar


* 4 teaspoons walnut oil or cooking oil


* 1 recipe Caramel Apple Sauce


* 1 recipe Creme Fraiche or vanilla ice cream (optional)


* 1 teaspoon vanilla (optional)


* 1 recipe Candied Pecans





Directions





1. For crepes, in a blender container combine flour, water, milk, eggs, granulated sugar, and oil. Cover and blend until smooth, stopping and scraping the sides of container as necessary.





2. Heat a lightly greased 6-inch skillet over medium heat; remove from heat. Spoon 2 tablespoons of batter into pan; lift and tilt skillet to spread batter evenly. Return skillet to heat; brown on 1 side only. Invert pan over paper towels; remove crepe from pan. Repeat with remaining batter, making 12 crepes total.





3. Fold the crepes in half, browned side out. Fold in half again, forming a triangle. Place 2 crepes on each of 6 dessert plates. (To make crepes ahead, layer cooled crepes with sheets of waxed paper in an airtight container; freeze up to 4 months. Thaw at room temperature for 1 hour before using.)





4. Prepare Caramel Apple Sauce.





5. Meanwhile, if desired, in a small bowl stir together Creme Fraiche and vanilla; set aside.





6. To serve, pour warm Caramel Apple Sauce over crepes. Sprinkle with Candied Pecans. If desired, serve with Cr�me Fra�che mixture or vanilla ice cream. Makes 4 servings.





Vanilla Creme Fraiche: In a small saucepan heat 1 cup whipping cream over low heat until warm (90 degree F to 100 degree F). Pour cream into a small bowl. Stir in 2 tablespoons buttermilk. Cover; let stand at room temperature for 24 to 30 hours or until thickened. Do not stir. Store, covered, in the refrigerator for up to one week. Stir before serving. Makes 1 cup.





Caramel Apple Sauce: In a large saucepan stir together 1 cup packed brown sugar and 4 teaspoons cornstarch. Stir in 1 cup whipping cream, 2 tablespoons apple brandy or brandy, and 1 tablespoon butter or margarine. Add 2 cups thinly sliced apples. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 2 minutes more.





Candied Pecans: Butter a large piece of foil; set aside. Place 1/3 cup granulated sugar in a small heavy skillet. Cook, without stirring, over medium-high heat until the sugar begins to melt, shaking skillet occasionally. Reduce heat to low; stir with a wooden spoon until the sugar is golden brown and completely melted. Add 3/4 cup pecan pieces, stirring to coat. Spread pecans on foil; cool. Break pecans apart. Store in an airtight container for up to 7 days.

1 large banana, diced or 2 small bananas, diced





Combine flour, sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a small saucepan.

Stir yolks into saucepan. Cook 1 minute. Remove from heat.


Add vanilla and butter. Cool.


When ready to serve fold in diced bananas. Place a small amount of filling on each crepe and roll.

Reply:I like ricotta filling. My recipe calls for ricotta, powdered sugar, chocolate chips, and cinnamon. I don't know the measurements off hand but its kind of hard to screw it up. You can pretty much whip it together in a pinch. Its also very popular in cannoli.
