Valentine's Day Red Velvet Pancakes with Nutella Cream Cheese Sauce

This isn't your typical breakfast. It's basically cake with double the chocolate. And it is so delicious and it's guaranteed to get you and your Valentine's day off to a great start. Red Velvet cake is a dessert staple in the south in America and with this recipe, you can enjoy it first thing in the morning without too much of the guilt. I've ditched the traditional maple syrup that usually adorns American pancakes and whipped up a Nutella and cream cheese sauce instead.

These made-from-scratch pancakes are fluffy and won't disappoint. Serve them warm with lashings of the Nutella sauce. You could even try them with toasted hazelnuts or sprinkles scattered over the top. Throw chocolate chips into the batter or serve them with whipped cream. They can be customized in dozens of delicious ways so you can really make them your own.

Instructions:

Valentine's Red Velvet Pancakes with Nutella Cream Cheese Sauce

For the pancakes
  1. Combine the flour and baking powder in a bowl.
  2. Whisk the egg, milk and oil in a separate jug.
  3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir to combine. The mix will be lumpy.
  4. Heat a pan until hot. Toss in a slice of butter and pour in some of the pancake mix until the desired size size is reached.
  5. Flip the pancake when the surface is nearly completely covered in bubbles.
  6. Let cook about 30 to 45 seconds longer and then remove when the pancake no longer feels too squishy. (I like my pancakes slightly underdone at the center, to avoid this,cook longer on the second side.)
  7. Repeat for each pancake.
 For the Nutella cream cheese sauce
  1. Stir together the cream cheese, Nutella, sugar and vanilla.
  2. Add the milk, little by little, while stirring to form a glaze.
  3. If you would like a thick glaze, use less milk. Want it thinner? Use more milk.

    1. Here in the UK, Cadbury & Philadelphia Cream Cheese produce a chocolate cream cheese that is so amazing and addictive! I thought if it could work with Cadbury, it can work with Nutella, too! It's is SOOOOOOOOOO good!
