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

Whipped Cream. When we want quick and easy we use a can of whipped cream and top with berries of our choice (strawberries, raspberries).  You can also make homemade whipped cream using this recipe.

Nutella. Spread the crepe with a layer of Nutella topped with sliced bananas or strawberries.

Lemon Curd. This one may be my favorite. Add some whipped cream and berries.

Cream Cheese Crepe Filling. This is what I make when I want to be fancy. This was perfect for the bridal shower I hosted. See recipe below.

White Chocolate Crepe Filling. This one was my personal favorite. See recipe below.

Maple Syrup

Ingredients Needed

  • Cream Cheese. Room temperature
  • Sugar. Granulated sugar.
  • Heavy Whipping Cream.
  • Sour Cream. Can also use plain Greek yogurt.

How to Make Cream Cheese 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.
  • In your mixer, beat the 1 cup cream with the yogurt or sour cream, add remaining 1/4 cup sugar and vanilla until medium peaks form. 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.

Ingredients Needed

  • Milk. Use  2% or whole milk
  • Sugar
  • Cornstarch. Used as a thickening agent
  • Egg yolk
  • Vanilla extract
  • Butter
  • White chocolate. Use a good quality white chocolate bar. 
  • Gelatin. This is plain gelatin, not flavored.
  • Heavy cream
  • Powdered sugar

White Chocolate Crepe Filling Recipe

  • In a medium sauce pan combine milk, cornstarch, sugar and egg yolk. Mix together and cook over medium low heat. Stir constantly and don’t let it boil. It will thicken up as it cooks.
  • Remove from heat and add in vanilla, butter and white chocolate and stir until chocolate is melted.
  • Cover mixture with plastic and chill for 3-4 hours or overnight.
  • In a small bowl combine gelatin and water. Let it stand for five minutes, then microwave for 10 seconds to liquefy it. Cool to room temperature.
  • In a medium bowl, combine heavy cream, powdered sugar and vanilla. Beat until it thickens. Gradually add in cooled gelatin mixture and beat until medium peaks form.
  • Fold the whipped cream mixture into the white chocolate mixture.
  • Cover and chill for one hour.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make the crepe filling ahead of time?

It can easily be made the day before. Just keep them refrigerated until ready to use. I recommend making them the night before so they have a chance to thoroughly chill and set up.

    So awhile ago I found your blog and helped put on an adorable bridal shower with your yummy recipes. We are putting on another party soon and I’ve had requests to make the white chocolate mousse filling. I’m not seeing it on the website anymore. Do you still have the recipe? Am I missing it?
