Strawberry Shortcake Mini Stacks

 

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

1. Prepare 3 cups pancake mix as directed.
2. Pour 1/8 cup batter per pancake onto a griddle. Note: A small cookie scoop is great for creating a silver dollar pancake, approximately 2" in diameter. 
3. Cook at least 24 pancakes. Cook pancakes approximately 45 seconds to 1 minute per side, turning only once. Set aside.
4. Whip together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Fold in whipped cream. 
5. 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 to create another layer and create a stack.
