Banana Crepes with Fleur De Sel Caramel Cream

An easy recipe for banana crepes stuffed with fleur de sel caramel cream

Fleur de Sel sounds so fancy. I could just say sea salt but it doesn’t have the same ring to it. Oui? I’ve always loved French and took quite a few courses in college. Fun fact of the day – I majored in Spanish and minored in a completely contrived major designed specifically for me. And so my minor pulled in linguistics, French, and Arabic – best major ever, IMO.
But I digress… 
These crepes look like they came from a restaurant but they’re so easy to put together, you would be amazed. What I really want to point out is this cream. How have I never discovered the amazing combination of caramel and mascarpone? And yes, I will admit to eating several spoonfuls of this before stopping myself. It was embarrassing.
It’s Friday!! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!!

BANANA CREPES WITH FLEUR DE SEL CARAMEL CREAM

INGREDIENTS
Yield: 14 crepes

crepes
1 c flour
2 eggs
1 c + 2 T milk
1/8 – 1/4 tsp salt (1/8 tsp if using salted butter)
1 T melted butter
3 bananas

cream
6 T mascarpone cheese
1 c heavy whipping cream
6 T Fleur de Sel caramel (sea salt caramel)*

garnishes: powdered sugar, walnuts

*Fleur de Sel caramel can be found at Trader Joes. Regular caramel may be used but add 1/8 tsp of salt to the cream if using unsalted caramel. 

DIRECTIONS
In a blender, combine flour, eggs, milk, salt, butter and bananas. Blend on high until batter is fully incorporated. Heat 2 tsp butter in a skillet* on medium-high. Add 1/4-1/2 c batter and shake pan to spread batter thinly. Cook crepe for about 15-30 seconds or until golden on the bottom, flip over with a spatula and cook another 15-30 seconds. Repeat until batter is finished. 

In a small bowl, mix cheese, cream and caramel. Whip on high until stiff peaks form. 

Place 2 T cream mixture on each crepe. Roll or fold crepes then dust with powdered sugar and top with walnuts. 


*A non-stick skillet works best but if using a stainless steel skillet, be sure to keep pan constantly oiled.
