| What do bakeries/chefs fill dessert crepes with? It’s cream like (not chocolate) and usually paired with fruit. Ricotta? Yogurt? Cream cheese? Please educate me and share a reliable recipe. Thank you 🙏 |

These combos are the main ones. I used to work at a creperie and these, with powdered sugar and or whipped cream were what we sold. Oh, also "plain" crepes with brown sugar and butter. You can also do lemon and butter, or marmalade but that's really not popular. |

Have you tried patisserie cream or the lighter diplomat cream (folded in whipped cream)? It looks hard to some people, but it is mostly patience.

We just got back from a trip to France, and had multiple creperie meals thanks to being with kids. The crepes served with cream usually had creme chantilly on top, not filled inside.
Two of their favorite combos: Buckwheat crepe with apple compote, creme chantilly, salted caramel sauce and vanilla ice cream Buckwheat crepe with caramelized bananas, Valrhona chocolate, creme chantilly and vanilla ice cream Plain lemon-sugar crepes were popular too (no cream) |

| I always have cherry crepes. The cherries are like cherries jubilee or something, not fresh. |

| In the Philippines they do the most lovely mango sauce in crepes, topped with whipped cream and chocolate. Divine! |

My favorite is with chestnut cream in it and blueberry sauce on the top.  ... or farmer cheese mixed with raw egg, sugar, and raisins. Or grated walnuts cooked with cream and chocolate sauce on the top with Chantilly.

| I love lemon curd crepes. I've never made them myself, so I don't have a recipe. |
