 Cream Cheese Crêpe Filling

4oz softened cream cheese

4T powdered sugar

1T milk

1/4tsp vanilla bean paste


Enough for 6-8 larger crêpes, maybe more with other fillings. This was most excellent combined with lemon curd or cranberry curd. Sugar can be cut a bit, especially if not combining with a tart curd.

 Red Eye

1L Everclear

2c sugar (400g)

5 1/2c hot water


Caramelize sugar, slowly stir in half the water until blended, stir in other half water. Pour into Everclear & bottle.


This is stronger than our normal recipe. I think I'd like something in-between best.
