These Pumpkin Crepes are made with simple ingredients and are stuffed with whipped mascarpone, a variety of nuts and a healthy caramel sauce. 

….because it’s been a hot minute since I’ve made something with mascarpone . I apparently go through withdrawal if I go too long without it. Anyway, it’s FRIDAY and we’re eating some crepes! Because weekends are the only time of the week I enjoy sweet breakfasts. Truthfully, I made these pumpkin crepes earlier this week and ate them as dessert after my dinner rather than breakfast the next morning. I can’t help it, I’m team savory breakfast all the way. 

But! If you’re someone who wakes up craving something sweet, these babies are for you. 

Are you on the pumpkin train yet? I definitely am, though I tend to do this thing where I over-indulge in pumpkin in September and by mid-October (or earlier!) I tire of it and move onto all things caramel and pear. Since I know I do this, I’ve been trying to spread out my pumpkin recipes, and so far so good. This is my first one, after all. 

Side note: can we talk about how much easier crepes are to make (and by “make” I mean “flip”) than pancakes?! They’re SO much easier it’s not even a close comparison. The edges tend to cook really quickly, which makes it a lot easier for the spatula to fit underneath the crepes, versus pancakes, where the batter tends to stick to the spatula. If you’re reading this and thinking “wtf”, then you’re probably someone who’s naturally gifted when it comes to pancake flipping, which is in fact a real skill. Please, teach me your ways. 

The whipped mascarpone is nothing crazy—just mascarpone, powdered sugar and a dash of milk. I then proceeded to not only stuff the pumpkin crepes with the mascarpone, but also with some raisins, walnuts, pecans, and pistachios for added texture. THEN I decided to add a drizzle of my homemade caramel sauce because why not?! The only thing better than pumpkin is pumpkin AND caramel. 

Oh!! And apparently it’s the first day of fall—how fitting. Now you basically have to make these pumpkin crepes.
