Crepes with Peach Compote & Whipped Cream is a heavenly dish that combines the light, delicate texture of crepes with the sweet, juicy goodness of peach compote, all finished off with a dollop of fluffy whipped cream. Whether served for breakfast, brunch, or dessert, this dish is sure to impress with its beautiful balance of flavors and textures.
To make the crepes, whisk together flour, eggs, milk, a pinch of salt, and a little sugar until the batter is smooth. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, lightly greased with butter or oil. Pour a small amount of batter into the skillet and swirl it around to create a thin, even layer. Cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown, then set aside while you prepare the peach compote.
For the compote, peel and chop fresh peaches into small pieces. In a saucepan, cook the peaches with a bit of sugar and lemon juice, simmering for about 5-7 minutes until the peaches have softened and the mixture has thickened slightly. If you prefer a smoother compote, you can mash the peaches with a fork or blend them for a more sauce-like consistency.
To serve, stack the crepes on a plate, spoon a generous amount of peach compote over each crepe, and finish with a dollop of freshly whipped cream. You can also garnish with a few extra peach slices or a sprinkle of cinnamon for added flavor and presentation.
This Crepes with Peach Compote & Whipped Cream is a wonderfully indulgent yet light dish that highlights the sweetness of ripe peaches and the fluffiness of whipped cream. It’s the perfect way to treat yourself or your guests to something special, combining a delicate crepe with the rich flavors of summer.
Crêpes are thin, delicate pancakes of French origin, made from a simple batter of flour, eggs, milk, and butter. They can be served sweet or savory.
Crêpes are much thinner than pancakes and don’t use baking powder or soda, so they don’t rise. Pancakes are fluffier, while crêpes are more delicate and flexible.
Popular sweet fillings include Nutella, fresh fruit, jam, whipped cream, or sugar and lemon. Savory options include ham and cheese, spinach and feta, or eggs and mushrooms.
While a crêpe pan makes things easier due to its flat, nonstick surface and low edges, you can use any nonstick skillet with a flat bottom.
Yes! Separate them with parchment paper, place in a freezer-safe bag, and freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat gently in a pan or microwave.
Traditional crêpes use wheat flour, but you can make gluten-free versions using buckwheat, almond flour, or gluten-free all-purpose flour.

Instructions

- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet, tilting to spread evenly into a circular shape.
- Cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side or until lightly golden.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes on a plate.
- To serve, fill each crepe with peach compote, fold, and top with whipped cream.

Crepes are hard to make! I nearly burnt my first few. But eventually got it right. Loved the peach filling though!
Nah, they’re not that hard. Just gotta get the heat right. Peaches? Nah, prefer berries!
Making crepes can be tricky! But practice makes perfect. Peach filling is my fave too!
Not sure what went wrong, but mine turned out more like scrambled eggs than crepes. Maybe I should have whisked better?
I made this thinking it would be cheap, but the peaches were sooo expensive! I guess it’s worth it, tho.
These crepes were okay, but lacked a little flavor. Maybe add cinnamon or vanilla next time?
I think you’re right! A pinch of cinnamon would definitely spice it up a bit. I’ll try that next time!
Cinnamon? Hmm, I never thought of that. But crepes are good just plain too!
These crepes are amazing! I added a bit of cinnamon to the batter and it was perfect. Will make this again for sure!
This recipe is just too sweet for my taste. I think the sugar in the compote is unnecessary. Will try reducing it next time.
Just like the ones my grandma used to make. So nostalgic! 😍
Easy recipe, but I forgot to let the batter rest… it didn’t go well. Lesson learned!
Total fail! I couldn’t get them to flip without tearing. Maybe I did something wrong but idk.
I had the same issue at first! The batter needs to be really thin, and make sure the pan is hot enough but not too hot. Keep trying, you’ll get it!
I dunno, something seemed off. My batter was too thin. Didn’t turn out like the picture!
Not sure what went wrong, I followed the recipe to the letter and they came out perfect! Maybe try again? 🤷♂️
It sounds like you may have added too much milk or not enough flour! Make sure to measure accurately next time. Keep trying! 😊
I made these for brunch, and they were a hit! The kids loved the peach compote!
I don’t know, crepes are kinda tricky. Did you use a special recipe for the compote?
That sounds amazing! I need to try that peach compote! 🍑
Anyone tried it with frozen peaches? I’m curious if it’ll work.
So good!! I even added a dash of cinnamon to the batter. Makes them extra special!
Cinnamon sounds like a tasty twist! I’ll try that next time.
Simple and delish! Just like my Grandma used to make. 🍑❤️
Sounds amazing! I love crepes but never thought to make them with peach compote! 😍
I don’t think I’ll make crepes again. Too much work. Just buy pancakes at the store.
Wow! Yummy! Deffinatly making again! 😍
I tried this recipe, but I think there were too many eggs. Made it taste weird for me.
The instructions were a bit confusing, but I got it in the end. Taste great!
I’m glad you liked it! The crepes are so versatile, you can switch up the fruit too. 🍑
Crepes are like thin pancakes, right? Pretty easy tho!
Could you use almond milk instead? Just asking.
They turned out a bit too thick for my liking. I don’t know if I did something wrong, but I expected something lighter.
🙌 Love it!
Yum! Wish I had served these with ice cream instead. Will try it next time! 😋
These crepes are amazing! The peach compote adds such a nice touch. My kids loved them.
So delish! I made em for breakfast, everyone wanted more! 🤤
Yum! I’m so glad to hear that! These are perfect for breakfast, right? 😍
I followed the recipe but they came out too thick. What did I do wrong?
Maybe you added too much flour? I’ve had that issue before. Try measuring more carefully next time!
What is peach compote? Never heard of it. I just used jam instead. Not sure if it’s the same but still tasted good!
Peach compote is like a fruity sauce made from cooked peaches! Using jam is fine, but it’s a bit different. Glad it still worked for you!
Just ok. I think I prefer pancakes. Crepes are too fancy for me.
So good! I added some cinnamon to the batter, and it put it over the top! 🍑🤤
Delicious! I used frozen peaches cause that’s what I had, still turned out great! Will make again 😋
Frozen peaches work just fine! Glad it turned out great for you. Can’t wait to try it myself!
Just okay. I don’t really like peaches. I think strawberry would be better.
I found the batter too runny. Are you sure the amounts are right? Even after resting, it didn’t thicken!
I had the same issue! I think the milk amount might be too much for some brands of flour. You can try reducing the milk a little next time.
Maybe you just need to mix it more? Sometimes if you don’t whisk enough it doesn’t come together right. Just a thought!
These crepes are amazing! The peach compote gives such a fresh flavor. My family loved them!
I tried this recipe too and my kids were so happy! The peach compote really does make it special. Thanks for sharing!
Not bad (Y)
Yum! But why whipped cream? Why not ice cream instead? Just a thought.
Who knew making crepes was this simple?? I was intimidated at first but turned out great. Thanks!
Crepes are like fancy pancakes, I guess? 😕 But my grandma makes them with strawberries for breakfast!!
To be honest, i’m not sure if I like the recipe. It seems too fancy.
I get what you mean! It does look kinda posh. But it tastes amazing!
Give it a shot with some strawberries instead of peaches, maybe you’ll like that better!
Too fancy? It’s just crepes! Just give them a try, they really aren’t that hard to make. It’s just pancake but thinner! Don’t overthink it.
Too much work for crepes in my opinion. Just stick to pancakes!
Crepes are definitely worth the extra effort! They’re so delicate and delicious compared to pancakes.
This recipe is trash. The crepes ended up like pancakes and I wasted my peaches! Never again.
These crepes were amazing! I never thought I could make something so delicious at home. The peach compote was a game changer!
Crepes are supposed to be thin! These were kinda thick. Not sure I followed the instructions correctly.
Thick crepes are fine too! I love how they can hold more filling. Maybe try it again with less batter next time, but hey, it still works!
I think you might have poured too much batter on the skillet! Just a little goes a long way for thin crepes. Don’t give up, practice makes perfect!
These are amazing! My kids loved them, and they were so easy to make. Will definitely make again!
So glad to hear that! Kids love sweet treats, and these crepes are perfect for them! 🍑
Crepes is easy to make, but I keep failing. Any tips?
I didn’t have peach compote, so used apple. Still turned out great! Also, that whipped cream… yum!
Apple works too, I guess! Never thought of that. Gotta try it!
Peach compote is the best, apple ain’t the same tho. Whipped cream is delicious, but don’t replace the fruit!
I made this for breakfast and my kids loved it! They even asked for seconds! Will make this again for sure.
That’s awesome! I’m so glad your kids enjoyed it! These crepes sound delicious!
Mmm so good!! Perfect treat for summer parties. I added some vanilla to the whipped cream too!
Honestly, I don’t understand why you need to rest the batter. Mine was fine without resting. 🤷♂️
