STRAWBERRY SOUFFLE 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
- 2 tbsp Tastic sweet*
- 4 eggs, separated
- 4 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- Graham cracker crumbs, to garnish
DIRECTIONS
- 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, Tastic sweet, 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.
