Peaches and Cream Crepes & Easy Lucky Leaf Desserts

In the summer, I love fresh seasonal fruit. There is nothing better than a bowl of fresh cherries or eating a juicy peach with the juice dribbling right down your chin.  But that is not possible in NJ at this time of year. So I keep a stock of Lucky Leaf pie filling in my pantry so I can make fruit desserts all year round. I especially love having them for the quick and easy holiday desserts I can make.

I also love eating this pie filling with a spoon right out of the can. Shhhhh......it's our secret!

I will eat any chocolate dessert that is put in front of me. But if I have a choice, a fruit filled dessert wins every time.   Just make sure it is topped with fresh whipped cream.  I decided to pair some peach pie filling and cream together with crepes.

Since this dessert involves a crepe, a fruit and a dairy product, I say it can also be a breakfast. No one will judge you and your kids will love you for it. Go even a little more crazy and add a scoop of ice cream to the crepe. We still have our dairy and who says ice cream is not for breakfast?

The Lucky Leaf peach filling is my favorite in crepes but other flavors also work well too.  Cherry and blueberry are perfect. Feel free to drizzle some chocolate or caramel over those crepes.

If this is not your style of dessert, here are some other desserts I make using Lucky Leaf   pie filling.

Easy Apple Spice Loaf Cake

Mini Cherry Cheesecakes

Apple Pie Sundaes

Apple Streusel Cheesecake Bars

You can also go to the new Lucky Leaf website for plenty of holiday recipe inspiration. "Good things come to those who bake" is their new theme. I have to agree especially when it is so easy to make desserts with their product.
