Absorb all the gooey strawberry and creamy, sweet cream cheese filling flavors with these super fluffy pancakes.
Ingredients
Strawberry sauce:
1 pint strawberries, quartered
⅓ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cheesecake filling:
8 ounces cream cheese
½ cup powdered sugar, sifted
⅓ cup whipped cream
⅛ cup strawberry sauce
Pancakes:
½ cup cake flour, sifted
4 eggs, separated
4 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons sugar
Graham cracker crumbs, to garnish
Instructions
For the strawberry sauce: In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, add strawberries, sugar and vanilla. Bring to boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to a low simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes until mixture thickens to a syrup-like consistency. Remove from heat and set aside.
For the cheesecake filling: In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, add cream cheese and powdered sugar and mix until smooth. Add whipped cream and strawberry sauce; stir until fully combined. Add to a piping bag and set aside.
For the pancakes: In a large bowl, add flour, egg yolks, milk, vanilla and melted butter. Stir until fully combined and smooth. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, add egg whites and sugar and beat until stiff peaks form. Fold the whites into the flour mixture, one-third at a time, making sure there are no white streaks left.
Spray a nonstick pan with cooking spray and place over low heat. Spray a ring mold with cooking spray and add it to the center of the pan. Pour the batter into the ring mold, filling mold about halfway. Cook on low for about 5 minutes, giving the bottom time to brown. Pour a tablespoon of water into the pan but not directly on pancake, and cover with a lid. Cook another 3 to 4 minutes. Using tongs, slowly remove the ring mold, and gently flip the pancake with a spatula. Cook an additional 3 minutes and remove from heat. Repeat with remaining pancake batter.
Place pancake on a plate, pipe filling on top and stack with another pancake. Top with more cheesecake filling, top with strawberries and graham cracker crumbs.
