Tiramisu Pancake Stack – Fluffy Pancakes with Mascarpone Coffee Cream

Tiramisu Pancake Stack is a soft layered dessert inspired by the flavors of classic tiramisu.

Fluffy pancakes are stacked with a light mascarpone cream flavored with coffee and vanilla. Each layer becomes soft and airy while the cream adds a smooth and rich texture.

A dusting of cocoa powder finishes the stack, adding a deep chocolate aroma that balances the sweet cream and delicate pancakes.
