Cherry and Cream Cheese Crepes

I am making crepes very often for my family as my daughters are really enjoying them for breakfast or as a snack during the day. You need only few basic ingredients to prepare the batter for the crepes and the options for filling are endless. As cherries are in season now, I’ve made these cherry and cream cheese crepes with an homemade cherry sauce and a vanilla flavored cream cheese filling. These are by far one of the best crepes I have ever served.

You can serve the crepes separately or make a crepe cake, filled with the cream cheese filling and topped with delicious cherry sauce. Any way you choose to serve them will be a delight.
