Lime Curd Crepe with Raspberry

The picture above captures the perfect finale to an awesome evening. Three friends from college, tons of sushi and wine, and a lot of laughter, topped off by a trip to the local creperie, Cafe Des Amis. We thought the evening couldn't get any better, but there on the little white chalkboard was the daily special - crepes filled with lime curd and raspberry. *falls over*

I don't think I have ever tasted such a delectable treat. A soft crepe filled with tangy yet sweet lime curd and topped with a thick raspberry sauce. The flavor combination was absolutely divine and even now my mouth is watering as I type this.

Although we were full from dinner, together we finished off four crepes, leaving not even the slightest remnant at the end. Wait, there were only three girls and you ordered four crepes? My friends and I love to eat and we can truly appreciate a great dessert, especially one as amazing as this. :)

Wow, sounds amazing!! You know in Japan they call your dessert stomach your 'second stomach' as there's always room for more. Which reminds me, I have your recommendations list coming up soon. :)

Erica - Crepes are sooo good for breakfast too!

Colby - Do you like raspberry by any chance? :) j/k. I like raspberry but I love lemon and lime. Yum!

Alisha - I love the second stomach idea. I can't wait for Japan, my whole trip is going to be centered around eating, lol.

Yikes! I shouldn't have clicked on this blog! Now I'll be dreaming about those crepes! I've only had one very yummy crepe (in San Francisco) and this flavor combination has my mouth watering. Wait, no, I AM glad I clicked open your blog link. I MUST HAVE THIS CREPE! LOL :)

It looks delish and glad you found such a heavenly dessert.

Melanie - Lime desserts are rather far and few between, aren't they? I can only think of key lime pie. I love all things lemon and lime so this was a real treat!

Dawn - Thanks for stopping by! Crepes are fantastic dishes - I wish I could have one every day!
