Blueberry and Vanilla Cheesecake Pancakes
I can’t believe we’ve almost hit Shrove Tuesday, or Pancake Day, on the foodie calendar. This means it’s very nearly time to start our Lenten fasts and use up all of the eggs, sugar and sweet things from our cupboards. Of course, it never really is the end of all the sweet stuff, but it’s a good occasion to mark, in any case.  Now, I’m afraid I’ve been a bad blogger and haven’t posted any recipes very recently, so I’m hoping to appease you all with one of my very favoruite pancake recipes – Blueberry and Vanilla Cheesecake Pancakes – yes, it’s a (no-bake) cheesecake, in a pancake, and there is no better thing, trust me. The good folks over at ASDA challenged me to come up with something unusual and so I hope I met the challenge with these. Once you’ve made your vanilla cream cheese pancake filling, simply fill your pancakes with the filling adding  almost any fruit, sprinkle over your cheesecake biscuit crumbs and a drizzle of maple syrup (or some fruity sauce) for good measure and you’ll experience something very special indeed.
To make my pancakes, I tried out Asda’s new mix-o-meter, which cleverly allows you to type in the number of people you are cooking for and the number of pancakes you’d like each. The mix-o-meter then works out the quantities of flour, eggs and milk that you’ll need. My pancakes turned out lovely and thin and crispy using this method, with just a little drizzle of oil in the pan for each one.
For even more Pancake Day inspiration, pop over to Asda’s website here where you’ll find some fun facts and tasty recipes.
Or, take a look at some of my other creations –
Polish Apple Pancakes (similar to American-style pancakes)

Plus, come back later for my Rhubarb and Ginger Curd Pancakes!
Of course, you can guess what my four year old chose to pick up on our shopping trip….!
Happy Pancake Day for Tuesday!
Here’s my recipe:
Blueberry and Vanilla Cheesecake Pancakes
Ingredients
- 8 thin pancakes or crepes
- 200 g full fat cream cheese
- 150 g Mascarpone Italian cheese
- 3 tbs icing sugar plus extra for dusting
- 100 ml double cream
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 100 g digestive biscuits crushed to fine crumbs
- 3 tbsp melted butter
- Blueberries or other fruit to fill
Instructions
- Whisk together the cream cheese, Mascarpone cheese and icing sugar until well combined. Add in the double cream and vanilla extract and whisk again. Set to one side.
- To make the cheesecake crumbs, stir the melted butter into the digestive crumbs - you should have a sandy mixture.
- Heat the pancakes gently, then fill each pancake with a few spoonfuls of the cheesecake mixture. Sprinkle over some blueberries or other fresh fruit and then the sandy cheesecake biscuit crumbs. Fold each pancake over, dust with icing sugar and drizzle over some maple syrup or fruity sauce.

What a brilliant idea. I think I would find these highly addictive!
Gosh, when I read cheesecake pancakes, I wasn’t imaganing the biscuit bit too, that really is creative Ren and sounds delicious too.
Amazing ! X
Wow, they sound amazing Ren! Cheesecake in a pancake, two of my favourite things all rolled into one, quite literally!
Unspeakably naughty Ren you temptress!!!!
Loving the idea of blueberry and vanilla cheesecake in a pancake!
They look so pretty. Mine would look right mess if I did same, I don’t have your delicate touch!
These crepes look really delicious. I used to eat a lot of little wraps consisting of sweetened cream cheese and fruit and this takes me right back to those days.
very pretty! I am avoiding all things pancakey today, but if I was making them, this would be a great recipe for me!
That looks delicious. Loving the idea of combining cheesecake into pancakes, especially the biscuity crumbs.
Love the use of Mascarpone in the pancakes. Hope you don’t mind if I borrow it???
These pancakes look delicious and the flavour blueberry and vanilla cheesecake , simply mind blowing.I like the click too.
Lovely naleśniki Renatka! I love the cheese filling with bluberries! <3
These look EPIC. So clever to turn the pancakes into the basis of a regular dessert. I’m really tempted to try making these…
Oh Ren these look absolutely spectacular! A great way to celebrate my “name day” 😉
Love it, especially your idea of adding a cheesecake type filling and biscuit crumbs. Blueberries too are just delicious with pancakes. Those crumbs really have me!
There are only 2 words to describe your pancakes: decadant and delicious! I can virtually taste them and love the crunchy addition of the digestives to give another texture dimension:-)
Ren I had not even conceived a pancake in this form before so I’m firstly excited in that front, secondly, they look absolutely devilishly delightful xx
