No Time Like the Present for Great Food!

For #PancakeSunday I posted these chocolate ice cream pancakes. Yes, you read that right. Ice cream pancakes. Chocolate. This is not a joke.

It was a cold winter’s morning and I still wanted something cold! I’m here to tell you that although it's winter that doesn't mean you can't indulge in a cool treat! Here is an awesome chocolate ice cream sandwich pancake that I'm sure you're going to love, resembling your favourite ice cream sandwich! We all know the feeling of a tasty ice cream sandwich, and we all know how satisfying pancakes are. What happens when you merge the two together? So much deliciousness in the morning! And no, you don’t have to wait till summer to eat these! These chocolate ice cream sandwich pancakes will let you enjoy ice cream and chocolate for breakfast!

Why Ice Cream Pancakes?

I gave it that name because it incorporates a chilled CHOCOLATE cream cheese glaze. Yes, chocolate, since I'm a huge chocoholic! The chocolate cream cheese glaze will be made as I make my classic cream cheese glaze with the addition of cocoa powder. While I usually say it’s optional to refrigerate the cream cheese glaze or serve it at room temperature, for this recipe it’s essential to chill our cream cheese glaze for at least thirty minutes. If you serve it at room temperature, the glaze will not thicken up and it will melt with the hot pancakes. To make these ice cream pancakes, we really need the glaze to be firm and not have it drip down the stack!

How to Make Chocolate Ice Cream Pancakes

Because of the extravagant cream cheese glaze, we’re going to keep the pancakes simple by making plain oat or classic pancakes. It’s recipes like these that you appreciate how great pancakes are without any add-ins!

After the pancakes have finished cooking, we’ll be layering them with the cream cheese glaze and white chocolate chips. This is quite mandatory as the name is “ice cream SANDWICH!” Why white chocolate chips? I just find that they add a nice pop of color to contrast the chocolate cream cheese glaze. Also, white chocolate is so creamy, and I find that really adds to the ice cream experience of these pancakes.

The finishing touch for these ice cream pancakes will be some pieces of your favourite chocolate bar. I saw Aero Minis at the store and really wanted to try them for these pancakes, since they're already cubed up and seemed like lots of fun, but feel free to use whatever chocolate bar you like. Enjoy!

Frequently Asked Questions

What gives the ice-cream-sandwich effect?▼

A chilled chocolate cream cheese glaze spread between the pancakes. Because it's cold and set, it behaves like the ice cream layer in a sandwich rather than melting into the stack.

Why do I have to chill the glaze?▼

Chill it for at least 20 minutes. If it's too warm it melts against the hot pancakes and the stack slides and collapses — cold, firm glaze is what holds the sandwich look together.

What's in the chocolate glaze?▼

Cream cheese whisked with powdered sugar, cocoa powder and a little milk until smooth. Chilling it firms it up into that thick, scoopable layer.

How do I keep the pancakes warm while cooking?▼

Hold the cooked pancakes in a 200°F oven as you go. Let them cool slightly before assembling, though, so they don't melt the chilled glaze when you stack them.

  6. 6

    When all the pancakes have cooked, take out the chocolate cream cheese glaze. Place one pancake and spoon on a bit of glaze in the centre and spreading it out. Then add 4-5 white chocolate chips around the perimeter. Layer another pancake and repeat until you've coated the second last pancake. For the top one, spoon the rest of the glaze and finish with more chocolate chips and squares of chocolate. Serve hot and enjoy.
