Delight in these Strawberry Cream Stuffed Pancake Donut Stacks, a creative twist on traditional pancakes that layers fluffy homemade pancakes with a luscious strawberry cream cheese filling. Perfect for breakfast or brunch, these stacks combine the soft texture of pancake ‘donuts’ with a sweet, creamy strawberry filling and a delicate glaze topping for a delightful treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Pancake Batter

  • 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
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup strawberries, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pancake batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until combined. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Gradually combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and stir gently until you achieve a smooth batter without overmixing.
  2. Cook the pancakes: Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat. Pour batter onto the pan to form pancakes about 4-5 inches in diameter, cooking until bubbles form on the surface and edges are set, about 2-3 minutes per side, turning carefully to cook evenly until golden brown. Set the pancakes aside to cool slightly.
  3. Make the strawberry cream filling: In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the softened cream cheese until smooth, then carefully fold in the chopped strawberries to create the creamy strawberry filling.
  4. Assemble the pancake donut stacks: On a serving plate, place one pancake as the base, spread a generous layer of the strawberry cream filling on top, then stack another pancake over it. Repeat this layering to create stacks with multiple layers of pancake and strawberry cream, finishing with a layer of cream on top.
  5. Finish and serve: Drizzle any remaining cream or a light glaze over the top of the stacks and garnish with fresh strawberries. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors and creamy texture.

Notes

  • Use fresh ripe strawberries for the best flavor in the cream filling.
  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened to blend smoothly with the whipped cream.
  • Cook pancakes on medium heat to avoid burning while ensuring they cook through.
  • These stacks are best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
  • For a lighter option, use reduced-fat cream cheese and adjust sugar accordingly.
