St. Augustine is a magical city, filled with a rich history. From wineries to ghost tours, St. Augustine has something for everyone. Walking along the historic streets downtown, I came across a little crepe shop called Mimi’s Famous Crepes. I decided to check them out for dessert.
They had an assortment of savory and sweet crepes. Since I wanted dessert I went sweet. I ordered the Banana Cream Pie crepe. What was fun about this place is I could watch my crepe being made.
I watched as the crepe batter was poured onto the hot grill and moved around to create a perfect circle.
Once it was perfectly golden brown, it was folded and filled with a vanilla pudding, sliced bananas, and crushed up vanilla wafers.
Then it was folded again a topped with a caramel drizzle, more vanilla pudding, and whipped cream.
I could not wait to try this crepe. They had a beautiful garden, so I went there to sit and enjoy my dessert.
The crepe was still warm, so the pudding melted around the bananas. This created a rich bite. The whipped cream added a cool element and the caramel sauce added extra sweetness. With the addition of the vanilla wafers for crunch, this really did taste like a Banana Cream pie. They captured this beautifully.
This crepe was so satisfying. All the ingredients went perfectly together. I would recommend everyone going to Mimi’s for a dessert crepe. You will not be disappointed.
