Coffee-caramel
Add a spoonful of coffee ice cream to crepes. Drizzle over some salted caramel sauce, then a little melted dark chocolate. Top with a handful of toasted and chopped pecans.
Blueberry cheesecake
Whisk soft cheese with a little double cream to loosen the consistency. Add a squeeze of lemon juice, a grating of lemon zest and some icing sugar. Stir in blueberry compote or jam, and serve in crepes with a handful of blueberries and a drizzle of lemon curd.
Ricotta, spinach and pancetta
Grill pancetta until crisp. Fry a chopped shallot in olive oil, add a splash of white wine and let it bubble. Add a tub of ricotta, a few handfuls of chopped spinach, seasoning and a little nutmeg. Stir until the spinach wilts, and spoon into crepes. Add the pancetta and top with chopped chives.
