Of all the pumpkin recipes I have for you this week, these pumpkin crepes with cheesecake filling are my favorite! You really MUST make these!
There is pumpkin puree in the crepe batter along with pumpkin spice. The crepes are so tender and delicious. Then they are filled with a cheesecake filling made with cream cheese, cinnamon, powdered sugar, and whipped cream.
To finish these off, you give them a drizzle of caramel sauce. I used a salted caramel sauce. Then, you add a sprinkle of chopped nuts. I had walnuts, so that’s what I used. However, pecans would also be wonderful. This is a new must have fall recipe for me!
