Ingredients

Scale

Pancakes

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
0.5 tsp salt
2 eggs
1.5 cups milk
2 tbsp butter (melted)
1 tsp vanilla extract

Strawberry Cream Filling

1 cup heavy whipping cream
0.5 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup strawberries (chopped)
4 oz cream cheese (softened)

Instructions

Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 0.5 teaspoon salt until well combined.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat 2 eggs, add 1.5 cups milk, 2 tablespoons melted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
Make Pancake Batter: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until a smooth batter forms without overmixing to keep pancakes fluffy.
Cook Pancakes: Heat a skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour batter to form pancakes of desired size. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, then flip and cook until golden brown. Repeat until all batter is used. Set pancakes aside to cool slightly.
Whip Cream: In a chilled bowl, whip 1 cup heavy whipping cream with 0.5 cup powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
Prepare Strawberry Cream Filling: Gently fold 4 oz softened cream cheese and 1 cup chopped strawberries into the whipped cream until well combined and smooth.
Assemble Stacks: Layer pancakes on serving plates, spreading a generous amount of the strawberry cream mixture between each pancake to create stacked layers.
Garnish and Serve: Drizzle any remaining cream mixture or glaze over the top and garnish with additional fresh strawberries. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and sweetness.
Pancakes can be made ahead and reheated gently in the oven or microwave.
For a lighter option, substitute heavy cream with whipped coconut cream.
Adjust powdered sugar in the cream filling to taste for desired sweetness.
Ensure cream cheese is softened for ease of mixing and smooth texture.
