Irish Crème Crepes – a sweet crepe that can be served any time of the day, garnish w/ cinnamon vanilla bean whipped cream to perfectly round out this dish.
I come from a long line of Irish descendants. To be honest, I have always been proud of that. It is my favorite bloodline (don’t tell the Germans). I love to celebrate St. Patty’s Day, and maybe it is only because I have great childhood memories of going to the St. Patty’s Day parade; they always had the best candy!
However, my favorite treasure was from a local bagel shop, Gibb’s Bagels. They always put out green bagels. I loved them! My sisters and I thought it was so cool. I’m not sure if we even ate the bagels, but we loved them anyway.
I want to carry on some similar memories for my kids. I want them to remember something green that they ate on St. Patty’s Day, and I actually want them to eat it, not just think it’s cool. My kids’ favorite all-time breakfast is crepes, so I thought this year it would be cool to make Irish Crème Crepes with a little green food coloring to start a tradition they will always remember. I made a little cinnamon vanilla bean whipped cream to garnish.
From my pot of gold to yours, lúcháir (delight, enjoy in Irish Gaelic)!

How do you make Irish Crème Crepes?
-
In large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, melted butter, flour, sugar, and salt until smooth.
-
Heat a medium-sized skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Grease pan with a small amount of butter or oil applied with a brush or paper towel. Using a serving spoon or small ladle, spoon about 3 tablespoons crepe batter into a hot pan, tilting the pan so that bottom surface is evenly coated. Cook over medium heat, 1 to 2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
-
Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon and serve immediately!

Kids review: I was worried that since this had Irish Crème in it they would turn their noses at it. Especially since I had them smell the syrup and they all gagged. LOL! But they loved them, I tripled the batch and not one was left (well there were actually 2, but I intentionally stuck them aside for my husband).
Festive! I’ve never tried making crepes at home, but these look super fun.
seriously, I was just thinking of making these the other day 🙂 they look terrific
These sound great Sandra. I love crepes and I bet the Irish creme flavor is great. I will have to try this (maybe with out the food color since I don’t have kids to wow). Thanks for sharing on Great Idea Thursdays I’m featuring this.
Looks so so good Sandra!! Pinned! can’t wait to try these crepes!
These look delightful! Crepes are one of my favorite foods; adding Irish Creme sounds like a great idea! Visiting from Full Plate Thursday and pinning this to try soon. 🙂
