4-Ingredient Cream Cheese Crepe Filling

This is not only a favorite to pair with classic crepes or strawberry crepes for brunch but could be served alongside some fresh berries or with a slice of your favorite cake with strawberry sauce.

This easy crepe filling adds the perfect flavor to my favorite crepe recipe. It tastes like no-bake cheesecake, but with a creamier texture. With only 4 ingredients and less than 5 minutes to whip up, this will become your new go-to sweet crepe filling recipe!

Ingredient Notes

This crepe filling recipe is easy to make with a few simple ingredients!

• Cream cheese: You’ll need 1 box of room temperature softened cream cheese. Regular cream cheese yields the best thick and creamy filling, but you can use light or low fat cream cheese.
• Sugar: Both granulated sugar and powdered sugar will work, although I prefer powdered sugar as it dissolves more easily into the cream cheese.
• Vanilla: You only need a small amount to add a sweet flavor. Simply add in 1 teaspoon and be sure it’s real vanilla extract not imitation.
• Whipped cream: I love the lighter consistency this adds. I often make my own whipped cream with heavy cream, but store-bought whipped cream like Cool Whip will work, too.

Ways to Use Cream Cheese Filling For Crepes

We love serving this cream cheese filling with my famous crepe recipe and fresh berries, although it would be great in blintzes, too! Here are some more crepes to fill with it!

Favorite crepe filling ideas and toppings:

• Fresh fruit filling: I love a strawberry cream filling, but raspberries, blackberries, blueberries or sliced bananas are all great additions to the cream cheese crepe filling. I love to add them both to the filling and on top of the crepes.
• Sauces: Add a drizzle of strawberry sauce, blueberry sauce or chocolate sauce on top of the filling before folding then more on top.
• Powdered sugar and lemon juice: A little lemon juice could be added to the filling for a citrus taste and sifting powdered sugar on top of the crepe looks so elegant.
• Spread: Skip the cream cheese filling and smear the inside of the crepe with Nutella or peanut butter.
• Whipped cream: A dollop on top of a crepe with a scoop of ice cream makes it an instant dessert.

Storing Leftover Crepe Filling

Leftovers of this cream cheese crepe filling recipe can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week. I like to let it soften to room temperature before using it in crepes.

You can also make ahead crepes with the cream cheese filling and fold edges toward center to make a square. Store filled crepes for up to 3 days in the refrigerator in a covered container. Reheat in a skillet with butter.
