What I like best about crepes is how easy it adapts to a variety of fillings. Most times I see crepes presented as a dessert. In this case, Lemon Lime Dessert crepes can easily step in for breakfast. Sort of like a thin pancake with cream cheese, right? Ha!
Candied lemon and key lime slices add extra flair to these crepes. Here’s a video telling you how to make candied slices.
Special thanks go out to our sponsors for the samples and inspiration for #SpringSweetsWeek! For these crepes I used delicious lemons and key limes from Melissa’s and vanilla bean paste from Taylor & Colledge.
