Strawberry Pineapple Crepes with Cardamom Cream is what happens when I’m left with extra pineapples in the house along with a kitchen filled with the aroma of cardamom. The cardamom fragrance was the result of a small spill and I have to admit that I didn’t mind that at all. I adore cardamom, it is my favorite new spice find this year.
I’ve put cardamom in ginger spice carrot cake cookies, hot buttered rum, hot buttered rum cookies and my homemade chai tea. I’ve been wanting to try a cardamom whipped cream for months and this breakfast was the perfect excuse to finally make it!
Are you wondering what my kids thought of this meal? As I was making it, I wondered whether it would be too different for their taste buds or not. Luckily, they all loved it and my oldest son declared this is one of the best meals I have ever made. I absolutely LOVED all the different flavors together.
I made these crepes using my two ingredient pancake recipe. I love this recipe for both savory and sweet fillings. To make the batter, you simply blend together a few eggs with a scoop of cream cheese. Seriously, it is THAT easy!
The only special note here is that the crepes will be delicate. Nothing complicated to it, simply make sure they are finished cooking on each side before attempting to flip them.
They will tear easily if they are not cooked through. If the crepes are frustrating you, make them smaller as pancakes. They taste the same and you will be able to make them much more quickly.
I’m including my traditional crepe recipe as well, if that is more your style.

I love that your kids are so open to what you cook! I can't even get my 40 year old fiance to eat half the stuff they do. Must make cooking that much more enjoyable 🙂 The crepes look fantastic!!

I wonder if I could get my children to make these for me on Mother's Day? They sound lovely and anything with pineapple is perfect. Whipped cream for breakfast – you're my hero 🙂

Are you kidding me? Cardamom whipped cream? It all sounds too good. I have yet to master the art of the crepe, so I'll check out your recipe and cross my fingers!

Wow cardamom whipped cream? I have never thought of adding cardamom flavors to whipped cream, but I like the idea all together with the pineapple stuffed crepes. Thanks for sharing!

I haven't attempted crepes in a while because my last experience with them was so disastrous! I think it's time i give them another go! Love the cardamom here…it's one of my favorites as well!

Mary, I'm not normally a cardamom fan, but it would be perfect in this! This sounds sooooo good! It's been too long since I've made crepes – these are the ones! Think I'll Pin It.

I absolutely delight in the fragrance of cardamom. It has been a long time since I thought about making crepes. That is a nice twist on a weeknight meal.
