Mango topping
- 2 tablespoons cheese spread
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup whipping cream
- Fresh mango, cubed
Mango souffle pancakes
- 3 egg yolks
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup mango, puree
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 3 egg whites
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 cup granulated white sugar
Instructions
Make the mango topping
Whisk the cream cheese spread, milk, and whipped cream together until the mixture is fluffy and light. Store in the refrigerator until the pancakes are ready.
Make the mango pancakes
- Mix the egg yolks, flour, mango puree and milk, until well combined. Set aside.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together egg whites and lemon juice until foamy. Continue whisking at a low speed, gradually adding sugar. Continue to mixing at low speed until stiff peaks form.
- Carefully fold 1/3 of the egg white mixture into the egg yolk mixture. Carefully pour the newly folded egg yolk/egg white mixture into the remaining egg white mixture, and using a spatula, gently fold until combined.
- Heat a heavy-bottomed nonstick pan over low. Using an ice cream scoop, pour two scoops of batter into the pan (per pancake).
- Cook the pancake over low heat until cooked on one side and partially through, about 8 minutes. Carefully flip the pancake, and cook the remaining side/interior until done, approx. 5 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Plate your pancakes and spoon over the mango topping. Enjoy!
Notes
- If you don’t have an ice cream scoop, you can use a 1/4 cup measuring cup instead.
- The exact cooking time for your pancakes will depend on your pan, the heat, amount of batter, etc. so do keep an eye on the pancakes as they cook, and adjust the heat accordingly.
- While cooking the pancakes, you can add a few drops of water to the pan, and cover, to slightly speed up the process.
- If you’re feeling fancy, you can roll a firm plastic sheet around the pancakes, and then spoon over the mango topping before removing the plastic sheet for a big reveal (this is a popular method at a lot of Japanese restaurants). It won’t change the flavor or the end result at all but it does look quite pretty.
