Let’s Make it Together
Prepare Your Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until fully combined. It should feel light as air before we add wet ingredients.

Create Cheesecake Filling: In another bowl, beat softened cream cheese with sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. This heavenly mixture will bring joy to your pancakes!
Cook Your Pancakes: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat; grease lightly if needed. Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on top—then flip!
Assemble Your Bowls: Once cooked, stack two or three pancakes in a bowl. Generously dollop that delicious cheesecake filling on top followed by fresh fruits and whipped cream.
