Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups buttermilk (room temperature)
2 large eggs
1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
8 oz cream cheese (softened)
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup heavy cream (cold)
1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries (hulled and chopped)
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Whipped cream
Maple syrup
Powdered sugar
Extra strawberries
Fresh mint leaves
Instructions
1. In a small saucepan, cook chopped strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice over medium heat for 5–7 minutes until softened. Let cool.
2. In a bowl, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Add vanilla and heavy cream, whip until fluffy. Chill until ready to use.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
4. In another bowl, combine buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla.
5. Gently mix the wet ingredients into the dry until just combined. Rest batter for 5–10 minutes.
6. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and grease lightly. Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake. Cook 2–3 minutes per side or until golden.
7. Stack pancakes with layers of cheesecake filling and strawberry topping between each. Top with whipped cream, syrup, and more strawberries.
8. Serve warm with additional syrup and mint leaves if desired.
Notes
Let the pancake batter rest before cooking for extra fluffiness.
Make the strawberry topping ahead to save time in the morning.
Use room temperature cream cheese for a smooth, creamy filling.
