Additional Time 5 minutes
Total Time 13 minutes
Servings 12 Crepes

Ingredients
  

For The Crepes

  • 1 cup Flour
  • Pinch Salt
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 Tablespoon Sugar
  • 1 ½ cups Milk
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • 2 drops green gel food coloring
  • 1 Tablespoon Butter - for the Crepe Maker

For The Filling

  • 2 packages Cream Cheese - softened 8 oz
  • ¼ Cup Heavy Whipping Cream
  • cup Sugar
  • ½ cup Powdered Sugar
  • ½ teaspoon Vanilla
  • Candy Hearts

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the Eggs, Milk, Vanilla and Sugar, until light and smooth. 
  • Add the Flour, and whisk until any lumps disappear, or batter is smooth.
  • Next, add green food coloring (about 5-10 drops until you reach your desired shade of Grinch Green) and let batter sit for 20 minutes. Bubbles will form on the top, that's normal. 
  • Turn Crepe Maker (or your sauce pan) on to the low setting, and when hot, add the Tablespoon of Butter, and melt on the non-stick surface. 
  • When Butter has melted, add 1/4 cup of the Crepe Batter, and spread the Batter out thin on the Crepe Maker - either using the Crepe Maker tools or the back of a spoon.  This will make the Crepe Batter thin. 
  • Cook the Crepe for about 3 minutes, then flip the Crepe, and cook for another minute on the other side.  Be careful not to burn or the crepes will turn brown instead of staying green.
  • Remove the Crepe with the Crepe tool to a plate, or a piece of Parchment paper, or Silpat.  Continue until all batter has been used.

Make the Filling:

  • In the mixing bowl of a stand Mixer, mix the Cream Cheese, and Heavy Whipping Cream, until smooth and creamy. 
  • Add the Sugar, Powdered Sugar, and Vanilla, and blend until smooth. 
  • Place the Filling in the refrigerator until time to fill the Crepes.

To Fill The Crepes:

  • With the Crepes laying flat, add about 2 Tablespoons of the filling to the center of the Crepe, and smooth out evenly. 
  • Fold the Crepe in half, and then in half again.
  • Place on a serving plate, stacking two or three Crepes on the plate. 
  • Add the Red hearts along the edges of the Crepes. 
  • Serve, and Enjoy!
