Ingredients

Pancake Base

  • 40 mini pancakes (frozen)

Toppings

  • ¼ cup Nutella
  • ¼ cup strawberry topping
  • 5 fresh strawberries, diced
  • Vanilla icing (for piping)
  • Candy cane sprinkles


Instructions

  1. Warm pancakes: Separate the frozen mini pancakes into 3 batches and microwave each batch for about 1 minute or until warm, ensuring they are soft and ready to serve.
  2. Arrange pancakes: Place the warmed pancakes on a large plate in a circular layered motion to create a base similar to nachos.
  3. Drizzle strawberry topping: Warm the strawberry topping slightly for about a minute to make pouring easier, then evenly drizzle it over the layered pancakes.
  4. Add diced strawberries: Sprinkle the fresh diced strawberries on top of the drizzled pancake layers to add a fresh fruity flavor and vibrant color.
  5. Drizzle Nutella: Warm the Nutella for about one minute to soften it, then generously drizzle it over the pancakes and strawberries for a rich chocolate-hazelnut taste.
  6. Pipe vanilla icing: Using the vanilla icing, pipe a design around and on top of a whole strawberry placed in the center of the plate to create a Santa hat look, adding a festive touch.
  7. Sprinkle candy cane sprinkles: Finally, sprinkle candy cane sprinkles evenly over the entire dish for a crunchy texture and holiday-themed decoration.
  8. Serve warm: Serve the pancake nachos immediately while they are still warm to enjoy the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Warming the toppings like Nutella and strawberry sauce helps with easier drizzling and creates a smoother finish.
  • You can substitute fresh strawberries with other berries or fruits based on preference or availability.
  • This recipe works best when served immediately to keep the pancakes warm and toppings fresh.
  • Vanilla icing can be substituted with whipped cream for a lighter topping option.
  • Use candy cane sprinkles or any holiday-themed sprinkles to enhance the festive look.
