CREPE WITH CUSTARD CREAM


There are infinite number of dishes we can make with crepes. Starting from the appetizer to desserts there ample amount of items you can make, according to your taste and creativity. You can fill it with salad, make pizza crepe, dessert crepe, fruit filling or toppings whatever you like. But my first choice is always dessert, filled with custard cream and with ice cream which is sooooooo delicious and heavenly.. Again the crepe you can make very thin or bit thick whichever way you like. So today is my favorite crepe with custard cream to your visual.
