DIRECTIONS
NOTE: This is an all time favorite “cheat dessert”. Everyone needs to have one fast, elegant dessert in their arsenal ready to dazzle guests. Whether you are rushed, tired, overwhelmed with all the components of a big dinner or just want the most fabulous, light and airy crepe for dessert, this is it.
I have found some amazing store bought ingredients that I use on a regular basis. I keep them on hand so I’m ready to whip up this dessert in a minute. I use store bought crepes and a really good store bought lemon curd. Make no mistake, I make both from scratch, but this is my secret weapon. If you make your own crepes and/or curd, that’s great. But if you can’t, this is a great go-to dessert. I recommend Melissa’s pre-made crepes (I’ve purchased them at Sprouts and Gelsons supermarkets). They are thin and delicious. I also really like Dickenson’s Lemon Curd. I’ve found that brand at multiple high-end stores but it is really good and can be used for all kinds of desserts. When in doubt, you can buy both online.
