Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of pastry flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 2 tablespoons of sugar.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 large room temperature egg, 1 cup of ricotta cheese, and the zest of one lemon until smooth.
  3. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture until just combined, aiming for a lumpy texture.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat together 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1 cup of whipping cream, and 1/4 cup of sugar using a hand mixer until light and creamy.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it.
  6. Pour about 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet and cook until bubbles form, then flip and cook until golden brown.
  7. To prepare strawberry sauce, combine 1 cup of sliced strawberries and 2 tablespoons of sugar in a small saucepan and cook until softened.
  8. To assemble, stack pancakes, adding cheesecake filling and strawberry sauce between layers, finishing with graham crackers on top.
  9. Serve with whipped cream or maple syrup as desired.
