Easy Homemade Recipe for a Similar Treat

Crepes with Cream Cheese Filling

These Cinnabon Delights remind me a bit of a breakfast (and sometimes lunch) I make for my daughter. It’s an easy-to-make crepe filled with cream cheese frosting and topped with strawberries.

Crepes are easy. Put all the ingredients in a blender. Many recipes call for the batter to rest, but seriously who has time for that? My tip for you is to make sure the pan is hot.

Add a pat of butter, then pour in some batter. Not too much. You want to be able to lift the pan and swirl it around so it’s one thin, round layer. Cook about 90 seconds on each side.

Crepe Ingredients

  • 1 cup flour
  • 2 eggs
  • Fill one cup with a mix of water and milk
  • 2 Tablespoons melted butter
  • Vanilla

Cream Cheese Filling

The way I make the frosting is simple. Let the cream cheese warm a bit and soften. Add some powdered sugar then stir until combined and smooth. I don’t recall ever measuring the ingredients.

If it’s helpful, I would say the ratio is approximately 2 or 3 tablespoons powdered sugar for every 1/4 cup of cream cheese.

Add a bit of vanilla extract if you like a little extra flavor. Enjoy!
