Chocolate Cream Cheese Crepe Filling
This Chocolate Cream Cheese Crepe Filling is irresistible (seriously!) and a great way to make crepes extra special. The best part of a crepe is what you put inside! This filling has delicate chocolate flavour and a slight tang from the cream cheese. It is reminiscent of a light chocolate mousse with a creamier texture. This filing is naturally sweetened with maple syrup. Although it's meant for crepes, it would also be excellent on pancakes, with strawberry shortcake, or to top brownies. Only 5 ingredients and it’s quick to whip up!

Notes
You really do have to whip the cream in a separate bowl before folding it into the cream cheese mixture. Believe me, I tried just doing it all together in one bowl and it did not work. Luckily, you can learn from my mistake!
