Key Lime Cheesecake Pancakes are made with soft buttermilk pancakes infused with key limes and topped with a simple homemade key lime cheesecake sauce.
Pancakes: Whisk together the wet pancake ingredients until combined.
Whisk in the dry ingredients, including key lime zest and let the batter stand for about 10 minutes. (This is a good time to preheat your cooking pan on medium heat and start the topping.)
Cook the pancakes, in the preheated pan, for about a minute or two on each side. Check the pancakes by pressing lightly in the center, if its firm the pancakes are done.
Topping: In a small sauce pot, (on medium heat,) combine butter, cream cheese and key lime zest. Using a silicone covered whisk, whisk the ingredients together until smooth.
Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring. Add vanilla and sugar. Keep stirring until smooth.
Bring to a low boil and take off heat.
Top of the pancakes with sauce when serving. You can sprinkle with some coconut flakes if you'd like.
