Strawberry Shortcake Mini Stacks

You know Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching, and if you are looking to enjoy something at home then give this breakfast idea a try and send your ‘significant other’ off with sweet thoughts and a special feeling.

You will need:
3 cup Buttermilk Pancake Mix
2 cups water
Filling:
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup icing sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup whipping cream, whipped to stiff peaks
1 1/2 cup strawberries, sliced

Method:
Prepare 3 cups pancake mix as directed. Pour 1/ 8 cup batter per pancake
onto a griddle or frying pan. Cook at
least 24 pancakes. Cook pancakes approximately 45 seconds to 1 minute per side, turning only once. Set aside. You can also use home made pancake mix as well. Whip together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Fold in whipped cream.
Assemble by starting with 1 pancake, then pipe or spread a tablespoon of filling on top of the pancake, top with a few slices of strawberry, then another pancake. Repeat with another layer to create a stack. Top with a skewer to hold them together if you wish.
There are some cute Valentine paper toppers that you can attach to the skewer to make it cute. Give LG Sales a check or even the party supply stores.

Tip: You can adjust the batch amount, fruit choice and display style to any way you would like.
