Pumpkin Cheesecake Crepes are made with a cinnamon and vanilla batter, cooked, and then filled with a pumpkin cream cheese filling. SO GOOD!
Pumpkin Cheesecake Crepes are based on this crepe recipe that I tweaked, changing a few increments and adding in vanilla and cinnamon. I meant them to be more of a dessert crepe, but I’m having the leftovers for breakfast today because I can. I’m such a rebel.
Ingredients Needed for Pumpkin Cheesecake Crepes
Ever made crepes before? They sound so fancy and french, don’t they? Well, truth be told, crepes are made with the bare-bone basics: flour, milk, eggs, salt, sugar, butter. Things we all have all the time. So what makes them so intimidating? Here’s what else you need to start making these Pumpkin Cheesecake Crepes:
- Vanilla Extract and Cinnamon – aside from the above-listed ingredients, you’re going to need vanilla and cinnamon to flavor the crepe batter. And that’s it!
- Oil – this is used for frying.
- Cream Cheese – we start the filling with cream cheese. Tangy creamy goodness!
- Pumpkin Puree – then comes all of the pumpkin flavor.
- Pumpkin Spice – pumpkin spice perfectly complements pumpkin, duh! They go hand in hand in almost every pumpkin recipe.
- Walnuts – I used these as a garnish. Totally optional and totally customizable! Replace with your favorite type of nut or leave them out altogether.
How to Make Pumpkin Cheesecake Crepes
I think lots of people are intimidated by making their own crepes so much so that they shy away from them and/or only make them on rare, special occasions, like Christmas. The cooking portion takes some time, but it’s not difficult in the least and the batter is a breeze. All you need is a good pan and the ability to rotate your wrist. I promise it’s all in the wrist. For full details on how to make Pumpkin Cheesecake Crepes, see the recipe card down below.
- Pour all ingredients for crepes into a large bowl or blender. Mix until all ingredients are incorporated. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
- For the Pumpkin Cheesecake Topping, place all ingredients into a food processor and mix until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- To fry crepes, heat up a skillet that holds heat well that you can hold comfortably with one hand. Pour in oil and swirl. Then rotate the hot pan while pouring the batter into it. A simultaneous action, if you will. It takes a little practice, but after a few times of trying you’ll get it down, no problem. Continue rotating the pan until the batter coats the pan. Fry until golden brown spots form on the bottom.
- Flip and cook the other side and remove to a plate. Repeat the whole process until you have no batter left. Add in a few dribbles of oil as needed, usually after every 3 or 4 crepes.
- Fold cooked crepes into fourths and top with a dollop of pumpkin cheesecake mixture. Sprinkle walnuts over top and serve.

Pumpkin Cheesecake Crepes
Ingredients
for the crepes-
- 1 1/8 cups milk
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons melted butter or canola oil
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- pinch salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
- oil for frying
for the pumpkin cream cheese-
Instructions
- Pour all ingredients for crepes into a large bowl or blender.
- Whisk until all ingredients are incorporated. {A few small lumps are ok!} Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least an hour.
- For the Pumpkin Cream Cheese Topping, place all ingredients into a food processor and mix until smooth and evenly combined. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- To fry crepes, heat up a skillet that holds heat well that you can hold comfortably with one hand. Pour in about 1/2 teaspoon oil and swirl to coat bottom of pan. Hold the pan up off the heat and pour a small stream of batter into the hot pan with one hand while simultaneously rotating the pan with your other hand to cover the batter evenly across the bottom. Continue rotating the pan until the batter is evenly coated. Fry until golden brown spots form on the bottom {about 20 seconds}.
- Flip and cook the other side another 15 seconds and remove to a plate. It might take you a few tries to get the technique down, but once you get it, you’ll be a pro. Add in a few dribbles of oil as needed, usually after every 3 or 4 crepes.
- Fold cooked crepes into fourths and top with a dollop of pumpkin cream cheese mixture. Sprinkle walnuts overtop and serve.
All of my favorite flavors!
These look absolutely perfect. I’m going to memorize your techniques! You are the master!
I wish I was having these for breakfast. Crepes once a week. You were spoiled!
these look amazing! I definitely must try them =)
I got mentioned in your post! I’m flattered . . . and yes, it is true. You make the very best crepes. In fact, I wish you were here right now to make me some. 🙂
I have never made crepes but need to. These sound perfect, especially with that pumpkin cream cheese!
I’m sorry….WHAT? You MUST make these!
Thanks for “debunking” the crepe for me (and many others, I’m sure!). I was always afraid I would end up with a floppy mess of dough. 😛
Love the blog, you have a great teaching style! 🙂
I just fainted.
I’ve never made crepes. Yours are beautiful and so nice that your best friend commented here! Great recipe for this time of year.
You should post a video of the pouring batter technique.
I’ve never made crepes, but these seriously look delicious! what a fun breakfast treat 🙂
Crepes are delicious, I normally just top them with a little bit of lemon juice, zest and a sprinkle of sugar.
Just when I think I’ve seen all the pumpkin recipes there are to see…. you amaze us once again 🙂 This would be the perfect fall Sunday morning breakfast.
That’s exactly how I ate them growing up! Lemon juice and sugar! It’s one of my favorite ways to eat crepes!
great feature. I have been playing around with crepes a good bit myself lately!
These look wonderful! Great recipe to make for this weekend!
Looks fantastic. Thanks for sharing!
These sound amazing Lauren! My mom used to make us crepes growing up but we only ever added things like banana, strawberries, and nutella! Never pumpkin! YUM!
My Mom never did pumpkin either…but she did do this lemon ricotta filling that was amazing. She was the one who started my lemon addiction!
My mom was a stay at home mom that made every meal, too – but never crepes!! You were definitely spoiled! 🙂 These look absolutely fantastic. The flavors sound wonderful.
I’ve never even had a crepe! These look freaking divine! Yayy for pumpkin 🙂 Have a great weekend
Your crepes look wonderful and thin! Delicious!
Yum! I can’t wait to try these for breakfast tomorrow 🙂
Let me know what you think!
Mmmm love these! Perfect weekend breakfast food.
Oh crepes. How I love thee. <3 <3 <3
I absolutely LOVE crepes and just got a crepe pan this past summer that I have only used once. I am definitely going to be making these. Just showed the hubby the picture, and he died a little.
I’ve never had a crepe pan before. I don’t know that I’d know what to do with it because I’ve always used a regular skillet!
they look REALLY good, I love the first picture!
What gorgeous, tempting pictures! I love crepes, and I’m so happy to see you’re not sick of pumpkin yet either 🙂
I don’t think I’ll ever get sick of pumpkin! Lol!
Thank you Lauren! I showed this to my “pumpkin is only for fall” friend. Many a disagreement has had pumpkin as the topic Hehehe, 😊
this looks amazing… i’m so feeling pumpkin this season. btw.. did you mean … Cinnamon Vanilla Crepes topped with Pumpkin Cream Cheese, I think you accidentally swapped. 🙂
No, I meant the title as is! I like switching things up! 🙂
Wow! Yes, these look and sound fantastic. The perfect way to start a crisp fall day.
I’ve always been so intimidated by crepes-but these look amazing, and easy to do!! Thanks for sharing!! 🙂
Holy Yum, I wish I was around for that breakfast!
These look & sound heavenly! I need these in my life 🙂
I took French in high school and around Christmas time we’d have a big feast with everyone bringing a different dish. I brought crepes and had a lot of fun making them…
The Spanish class would have a big feast as well and we’d go in between rooms enjoying all the food…great memories!

first time success!!
i can’t wait to try these!
the crepes never developed golden spots… any idea why? also, does pumpkin puree come in a can? I used Libby canned pumpkin and my cream cheese mixture looks a whole lot more orange than yours.
Maybe you didn’t leave them in the pan long enough? Or the temperature wasn’t hot enough? Not sure… And the canned pumpkin is also known as pumpkin puree. Same thing!
