  • 3 tbsp melted butter

  • Optional: pinch of cinnamon

Instructions

  • Blend all crêpe ingredients until smooth. Chill for 30–60 minutes.

  • Cook crepes in a nonstick pan over medium heat, using about 1/4 cup batter each.

  • Cool crepes fully before layering.

  • Whip cream to soft peaks. Fold into mascarpone, sugar, and vanilla mixture.
