Today on the blog – breakfast level: RIDICULOUS. That’s right, we just went all caps on this one. If that doesn’t tell you this dish is serious business, I don’t know what will.
And by serious business, I mean seriously delicious… business.
We’re talking light, fluffy pancakes… Rich espresso and brandy infused mascapone… A little (or a lot. I won’t judge.) dark chocolate syrup.
THIS is the stuff brunch dreams are made of.
No lines, no waiting, no dealing with gigantic brunch crowds… Just you in the comfort of your own home with this drool-worthy dish all to yourself. It’s ok, it can be our little secret.
Just as I may or may not have eaten all 12 of these by myself in one gloriously giant stack… We’ll never know ’cause I’m certainly not telling.

PinIngredients
For the pancakes:
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the filling:
- 8 oz mascapone, at room temp.
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tsp espresso powder
- 1 tsp brandy
Topping:
- Your favorite chocolate sauce
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together the melted butter and eggs. Add the milk and whisk until just combined. Add the remaining ingredients for the pancakes, whisking until the batter is lump-free. Pour the batter into a hot non-stick pan or griddle, cooking until golden brown on each side.
- In another bowl, combine the whipping cream, powdered sugar and espresso powder and whip until soft peaks form. In a separate bowl, beat the mascapone until smooth. Add the whipping cream and brandy, and fold together until combined.
- Spread a thin layer of the mascapone filling between each layer of the cooled pancakes and top with a big scoop of the filling and chocolate sauce. Serve immediately.
OMG! Perfect for Valentine’s Day breakfast in bed. Tiramisu is one of my favorite desserts. I can’t believe I’ve never thought to make it into brunch food.
These look so special, would be a nice little birthday breakfast treat! Gorgeous photography, LOVE the feel of it. 🙂
These are some epic looking pancakes! We love tiramisu, and I can only imagine what a great combination those flavors are with pancakes. What a special weekend breakfast treat.
You had me at brandy for breakfast! Haha, but seriously…This looks and sounds so much better than anything I’ve ever been served at breakfast places recently! The filling sounds AMAZING !
Best breakfast ever?! I love tiramisu and l love recreating those flavors in other dishes. This sounds like a winner!
This looks so incredible! Thanks for sharing!
Oh. My. GOODNESS. This is seriously swoon-worthy! That espresso brandy mascarpone sounds absolutely INCREDIBLE!
That’s a lovely idea! I should definitely try these pancakes as I’m a huge tiramisu fan!
I’ve been trying to find different pancake recipes to make because it is National Pancake Month and I just had to celebrate ! Looks like I have found my next pancakes to make !
Dessert for breakfast! This is something I can really get behind.
What awesome flavours in these pancakes!! They look so tasty, bookmarking for a lazy weekend breakfast!
What a wonderful idea! (And I could totally use the topping over my own gluten free pancake recipe, now, couldn’t I?) The family loves tiramisu, and I can see several uses for that.
Now this is what I call brunch! I love this for a decadent treat!
Seriously? Your photos never cease to impress girl! If these pancakes taste anywhere near as good as they look, I might need to rethink my diet to include stacks like this everyday!
I love, love, love pancakes and these sound incredible! And wow, such pretty photos you take!
