Crepes Filled with Creamy Avocado

These Crepes Filled with Creamy Avocado is an example of a recipe that came together because I love avocado and I love making desserts. I am not necessarily a person that eats a lot of desserts, but I do love making them.

There are so many things that I love about cooking and I wish I could spend more time in the kitchen, but at this moment that is not in the cards, so I am spending as much time as I can.

The creamy part of the dessert comes from the quark, the creme fraiche and the avocado. This fatty fruit (healthy fat that is) contributes a lot to the cream that fills the crepes, may be even more than the dairy parts.

It is not so very often that eating fat food is good for us. I should eat avocado more frequently and apply it in more recipes as it is a very versatile fruit.

I wanted to make something sweet with avocado and was thinking about a crepe cake, but just crepes was easier and faster. Making the avocado cream is easy; just mixing avocado, lemon juice, quark, creme fraiche, and sugar.

The crepes need a little more attention. They need to be thin, really thin. Make sure you have the right skillet, one that does not stick and you’ll be fine.
