Pumpkin Mousse Crepes with Maple Butter and Vanilla Sauce

Pumpkin Mousse Crepes with Maple Butter and Vanilla Sauce

 

Mmm, breakfast was quite yummy this morning!

The first time I made these, Linus informed they were so good they made his back bend (he was like 4 and there were a lot of very odd statements made back then….) 

I have no idea what that means but must assume that is good because I have made these several times since then and they are always to die for.

The kids, the husband, myself, guests always go nuts over these delicious crepes. They fit so well into the fall season with all the pumpkin and cinnamon and that maple butter. Oh my goodness sakes alive, the maple butter…. I love it.  It really all comes together very nicely. The vanilla sauce is like a pastry cream made into sauce so you know it’s lovely too. 

Totally and completely worth the extra bit of effort to make crepes for breakfast.
