Ingredients
  

For the Crepes
  • 4 large eggs Substitute with flax eggs for a vegan option.
  • 1.5 cups milk Use almond milk for a dairy-free variant.
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour Can swap for a gluten-free flour blend.
  • 0.75 teaspoon ground cinnamon Use nutmeg for a flavor variation.
  • 0.75 teaspoon ground ginger Consider adding candied ginger for extra zing.
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground cloves Omit if not readily available.
  • 6 tablespoons melted butter Substitute with coconut oil for a dairy-free version.
For the Filling
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened For a vegan option, use plant-based cream cheese.
  • 0.33 cup caramel sauce Use homemade or store-bought, or maple syrup for a lighter choice.
  • 1.5 cups heavy cream, cold Coconut cream can be used as a non-dairy alternative.

Method
 

Directions
  1. In a blender, combine the eggs, milk, water, flour, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and melted butter. Blend until smooth and homogenous. Chill the batter for at least 1 hour or overnight to enhance flavor and texture.
  2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour in a small amount of batter, swirling to create a thin circle. Cook for about 30 seconds until the edges lift, then flip and cook for another 10 seconds. Cool the crepes completely on a cutting board.
  3. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and caramel sauce together until creamy and smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
  4. On a serving plate, stack your cooled crepes, spreading a layer of cream cheese filling between each one. After a few layers, drizzle a little extra caramel sauce. Continue stacking until all crepes are used, finishing with a generous layer of the filling on top. Sprinkle with crushed gingerbread cookies for garnish.
