Ingredients:
For the Crepes:
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tablespoon melted butter (plus more for cooking)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for sweet crepes)
- Pinch of salt
For the Filling (Sweet Version):
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons powdered erythritol (or your preferred keto sweetener)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
For the Filling (Savory Version):
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Make the Crepe Batter:
- In a blender, combine the eggs, almond flour, heavy whipping cream, water, melted butter, vanilla extract (if using), and salt. Blend until smooth. Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes.
2. Cook the Crepes:
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.
- Pour a small amount of batter (about 2-3 tablespoons) into the skillet, swirling to cover the bottom evenly.
- Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly browned. Flip and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed. Set the crepes aside.
3. Prepare the Filling:
For Sweet Crepe Filling:
- In a bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
- Add the powdered erythritol and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Gradually add the heavy whipping cream, beating until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
For Savory Crepe Filling:
- In a bowl, mix the cream cheese until smooth.
- Add the grated cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, chopped chives, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
4. Assemble the Crepe Rolls:
- Spread a thin layer of the filling onto each crepe.
- Roll up the crepes tightly and place them seam-side down on a plate.
5. Serve:
- For sweet crepes, you can garnish with a sprinkle of powdered erythritol, fresh berries, or a drizzle of sugar-free syrup.
- For savory crepes, you can garnish with additional chives or a dollop of sour cream.
