These enchilada-style crepes will be the hit of your entire brunch table! My favorite crepe recipe stuffed with a cheesecake filling and tons of fresh strawberry sauce and bananas.—you won’t be able to stop eating them!
My obsession with crepes can be found under the category I affectionately call completely.and.totally.ridiculous.
Seriously. We are ALL about the crepes around here lately, guys. Last year around this time I first shared this keeper recipe and that is where it all began.
Needless to say, that innocent little crepe recipe went viral with over 100,000 pins on Pinterest and still continues to be the most popular recipe on my blog to this day. You guys are my crepe soulmates!!
Fast forward a year…last week I did the most unorthodox thing to crepes: I made ’em savory-style. BAM.
And fast forward just one week later to the present day which just so happens to be FRIDAY and also happens to be the day before Mother’s Day weekend…crepes are making yet another comeback.
This time they’re coming back stuffed with cheesecake. Covered in strawberry sauce/bananas. ENCHILADA-style, no less, guys.
This might be the best day ever, my crepe peeps. Just my unadultered opinion.
You seriously are not even going to believe how good these crepes are, guys. The actual crepes, of course, are pure perfection as they always are. Thin and lacy with just a hint of sweetness. So simple yet SO darn good.
Naturally, the cheesecake filling just completes an already perfect crepe. Sweet ‘n’ tangy with a subtle vanilla flavor. GAH.
But wait, there’s more! A simple macerated strawberry sauce + sliced bananas get shoved in amongst the cheesecake…
Everything gets rolled up all nice and perty.
Onto the serving tray le crepes go. More sauce and bananas on top…
‘Schmear or pipe any additional cheesecake filling you have around the sauce…
Powdered sugar over the whole shebang of crepe hopes and dreams…and the first part of our job here is DONE.
And now begins the best part. Which you KNOW involves a faceplant or twenty. You knew that was coming…it’s how we crepe peeps ROLL.
It’s just my guess, but I’m pretty sure you’re going to earn some MAJORLY HUGE brownie points with Mom this weekend when you make these crepes for her.
My brownie points are going to totally be off the charts come Sunday…I have big plans for one solid brunch table to be heaped higher than Mount Everest with these crepes.
You guys are my crepe soulmates. You get me.

- CREPES:
- 3/4 cup milk

Alyssa @ My Sequined Life says
I’ve only had crepes a handful of times but I’m totally due for some! I was on a business trip and there was this little crepe stand and I remember being just totally WOWed by the savory crepes. Ugh so good! I can only imagine how awesome these strawberry + banana cheesecake ones are!!
Sarah says
Oh my goodness, a crepe stand?? That sounds SO neat!!
Elese says
These look delicious! I want to try them very soon, so I have two questions. What is the best way to keep the crepes warm, and how long can they be kept warm without getting mushy or drying out?
I was thinking about making both the savory and the sweet and wondered if I could keep the crepes warm throughout the brunch so that people could have the sweet as a dessert.
Sarah says
Hi Elese! The way I like to keep these crepes warm is to cover them with foil and keep them in a warm oven until ready to serve. Good luck with your brunch!!
Christin@SpicySouthernKitchen says
I know I’d be happy if someone made these for me for Mother’s Day! They look spectacular!!
Sarah says
Thanks Christin! Hope you had a super-nice weekend!! 🙂
Ale says
is the agave syrup absolutely necessary? is not a very common ingredient in my country
Sarah says
You could use honey or maple syrup instead, Ale!
