Today I’m going to show you how to make keto cream cheese crepes! These crepes are soft, delicious, and surprisingly easy to put together.
You only need three simple ingredients – eggs, cream cheese, and butter. That’s it! No complicated steps, no special equipment besides a blender and a pan.
They come out perfectly thin and flexible, just like regular crepes, but without all the carbs. Whether you want something for breakfast, lunch, or even a light dinner, these crepes work great.
What I really love about these crepes is how versatile they are. You can fill them with sweet things like berries and whipped cream, or go savory with cheese, ham, and vegetables.
They work for any meal of the day. Make a batch in the morning and use them throughout the week. They store well in the fridge, so you can prepare them ahead of time when you have a few extra minutes.
👍 Why You’ll Love This Recipe
Only Three Ingredients: This recipe is incredibly simple because you only need three things – eggs, cream cheese, and butter. That’s it! You don’t need to buy a bunch of special keto flours or expensive ingredients that you’ll only use once.
No Flour At All: Regular crepes are made with wheat flour, which is loaded with carbs and completely off-limits on keto. This recipe doesn’t use any flour at all – not even almond flour or coconut flour.
High Protein Content: Each crepe is packed with protein from the eggs, which is exactly what you want when you’re eating keto. Protein helps keep you full and satisfied for hours after eating.

👨🍳 How To Make
Follow this easy recipe:
Step 1
Crack all the eggs into a blender. Add the cream cheese. Blend until the mixture is smooth.

Heat a pan over medium heat and add 1 1/2 tablespoons of butter.
Step 3
Pour half a cup of batter into the pan, ensuring it spreads evenly and is not too thick.

Bubbles will start forming on the surface of the crepe – when you notice them, flip the crepe. Cook until it is golden brown.
Step 5
Repeat with the remaining batter. Enjoy!
💡Tips
1. Let the Cream Cheese Soften First
Before you start making these crepes, take the cream cheese out of the fridge and let it sit on the counter for about 15-20 minutes.
Cold cream cheese is hard and doesn’t blend well with the eggs. When you try to blend cold cream cheese, you end up with little chunks in your batter instead of a smooth mixture.
These chunks won’t disappear when you cook the crepes, and you’ll see white spots throughout. If you forget to take it out early, you can soften it quickly by cutting the cream cheese into small cubes – smaller pieces warm up faster than one big block.
Another trick is to microwave it for about 10-15 seconds, but be careful not to melt it completely.
2. Blend Until Completely Smooth
When you’re blending the eggs and cream cheese together, don’t stop after just a few seconds. Keep blending for at least 30-45 seconds to make sure everything is completely mixed together with no lumps at all.
The batter should look smooth and uniform in color – kind of like a pale yellow liquid with no white streaks or chunks. If you see any pieces of cream cheese still floating around, blend for another 15-20 seconds.
A smooth batter is really important because it spreads evenly in the pan and cooks at the same rate.
3. Use Enough Butter Between Crepes
Don’t skip the butter between each crepe, and don’t try to use less to save calories. The butter serves an important purpose – it keeps the crepes from sticking to the pan and adds flavor.
After you finish cooking one crepe, add a small amount of butter to the pan before pouring the next one.
You don’t need as much as the first time – maybe about half a teaspoon is enough. Let it melt and spread it around the pan by tilting it in different directions.

FAQ
What can I fill these crepes with?
You can fill these crepes with so many different things, both sweet and savory. For sweet fillings, try berries like strawberries or blueberries with some whipped cream, or use sugar-free chocolate spread, or cream cheese mixed with a bit of vanilla extract and sweetener.
You can also add some chopped nuts like pecans or almonds for crunch.
For savory fillings, cheese works great – try cheddar, mozzarella, or cream cheese with herbs. Add some cooked bacon, ham, or sausage for protein.
