how to make Strawberry Cheesecake Pancakes

Ingredients :

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1 large egg
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup cream cheese (softened)
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 cup strawberries (sliced)
1/4 cup additional strawberries (for topping)
Whipped cream (for serving)

Directions :

In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, combine the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined.
Heat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown.
In a separate bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
To serve, layer pancakes with the cream cheese mixture and sliced strawberries. Top with additional strawberries and whipped cream.

how to serve Strawberry Cheesecake Pancakes

how to store Strawberry Cheesecake Pancakes

If you have leftover pancakes, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a microwave or toaster. Enjoy them warm for a quick breakfast or snack!

tips to make Strawberry Cheesecake Pancakes

Make sure the cream cheese is softened to blend smoothly with the powdered sugar.
Don’t overmix the batter; some lumps are fine for fluffier pancakes.
Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor; frozen ones can be used but may make the pancakes soggy.

variation

You can add a splash of lemon juice to the cream cheese mixture for a tangy flavor. Alternatively, try using blueberries or raspberries instead of strawberries for a different fruity twist!
