Next, fill my EASY CREPES RECIPE with Banana Crepe Filling, sweet and tart Apple Topping, or scrumptious Strawberry Sauce. You all remember my crepes post? Well, I couldn’t very well send you off to make crepes without a couple of fantastic fillings for crepes to get you started, could I? These blueberry crepes are one of our go-to favorites. Using store-bought blueberry preserves, cream cheese, heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla, you’ll be able to whip this delicious filling together in no time. And, the best part is, if you don’t love blueberries, you can pretty much use any fruit preserves you have on hand. I’ve got all sorts of ideas on this one — more on that below. I think once you master crepe-making (which doesn’t take long at all), you’ll find yourself not only wanting to make them all the time, but also coming up with all sorts of filling combos. So, think of this one as just the first one to get you started — from there, get creative!

Ways to Customize a Sweet Crepe Filling
This blueberry crepe filing is so easy to customize! Here are some ideas to get you started.
Instead of blueberry preserves, try adding strawberry, peach, blackberry, raspberry, or marmalade. Use apple butter or a hazelnut chocolate spread like Nutella. Add a half a cup of fresh blueberries to the filling for added texture and blueberry flavor. Add store-bought lemon curd to the cream cheese filling. Mix flavors: Think blueberry preserves with diced fresh strawberries, or other berries mixed in.
Topping Ideas
Sometimes I like to get really fancy and add toppings to the crepes as well as fillings.
Add more filling, a spoonful of fresh blueberries, and some powdered sugar to the top of your filled crepes. Try homemade whipped cream (or buy the stuff in a can), and pile it on high topped with blueberry syrup. A handful of chopped walnuts, slivered almonds, pistachios, or pecans would be wonderful if you love a little nuttiness on your crepes. Little bits of brie or another creamy cheese might sound weird but adds soooo much flavor and goes great with the blueberry preserves. Instead of whipped cream, try mascarpone or whipped ricotta.
Is it Better to Whip Cream in a Metal or Glass Bowl
I always use a cold glass or metal bowl to whip my heavy cream. Just put it in the fridge for an hour or so before whipping. Also make sure the cream is also very cold (right out of the fridge is fine). Why? Well, the colder the cream and the bowl, the faster the cream will whip up! It’s as simple as that.
