The cheesecake is a simple mix of cream cheese and confectioners’ sugar. Not too much sugar – just enough to balance out the creamy tang of the cheese.

The strawberry compote also has some raspberries in, as well as a little sugar, and it’s cooked up for just a few minutes until the fruit softens and releases its juice. (you can use blueberries or blackberries too).

This recipe makes 10 pancakes – enough for 3 (or two hungry) people.

I often make a double batch, then cool the leftover pancakes and store them in between sheets of baking parchment. They can then be frozen or refrigerated. Simply defrost and put the in the toaster for a minute for a quick breakfast another day!
