I’m always on the lookout for fun and easy ways to shake up my breakfast routine. Sorry eggs, but sometimes you can get a little boring. So when I stumbled across TikTok’s latest obsession, ice cream pancakes, I may have screamed for ice cream at the thought. With just two ingredients — ice cream and self-rising flour — you can whip up a batch of pancakes that’s not only delicious but also ridiculously easy to make. Whether you're a morning person or not, this trend is a game-changer, blending the best of dessert and breakfast into one sweet, fluffy bite. Here's how to make ice cream pancakes.

Leave it to TikTok creators to ask, "why cry over spilled milk when you can celebrate melted ice cream?" This clever hack started trending back in June when TikTok user @SquashedPickled, or the Snack Queen, shared her recipe that’s as surprising as it is simple.
Like and share these!! ❤️ 2 ingredient FLUFFY Ice cream pancakes! 🥞 I had a vision and it worked! Seeing as ice cream contains most of the ingredients we use for pancakes I thought why not add some flour and see what happens! My mind is blown! These are better than any other pancake recipe I’ve tried! You will need : Large scoop of ice cream (vanilla is delish) 1 cup of self raising flour * I haven’t tried this with dairy free ice cream. If you do try it please do let me know. This was regular ‘cheap & cheerful’ Neapolitan ice cream All you need to do is combine your ice cream and flour. You need to mix it really well so it’s a soft batter. Use the mix like it’s a pancake batter and pop some in a hot pan with a little oil. Cook for few mins each side on medium heat. So so good! Must try! #kidsfood #mummybloggeruk #londonfoodie #viral #funfood #foryoupage #mumhack #fyp #kidsfood #kidsactivities #quicksnack #bubbletea #pancakerecipe #pancakes #icecreamhack #foodhack #icecreamrecipe #summerfood
"I had a vision and it worked!" she wrote in the caption. "These are better than any other pancake recipe I’ve tried!" So, how does it work? Ice cream already contains many of the ingredients found in pancake batter — like sugar, milk and eggs. By adding just one more ingredient, self-rising flour, the Snack Queen swears you can whip up a homemade pancake batter in no time. The result? A plate of fluffy pancakes that taste as good as the original.

Tips for making the best ice cream pancakes

While vanilla ice cream is a great go-to for these pancakes, you can customize with any ice cream flavor you want. Feel free to try out chocolate, strawberry or even something adventurous like cookies and cream. Just remember, the richer the ice cream, the more decadent your pancakes will be. I would also be cautious of ice cream with various mix-ins as they may weigh down your pancakes.
If your batter seems too thick or stiff, a small splash of milk or an egg can help loosen it up. For the best texture, make sure to mix the batter thoroughly so it’s nice and smooth. If you have an electric or stand mixer, I recommend getting that out to save some elbow grease.

Easy ice cream pancakes recipe
Ready to hop on the trend? Here’s how you can make your own ice cream pancakes. I followed the basic recipe above for classic vanilla flavored pancakes. It should have the most neutral taste.
Ingredients:
1 cup self-rising flour
1 large scoop of ice cream (vanilla works well)
Instructions:
Total time: 20 minutes
Yield: about 2-3 servings
If your ice cream is too hard, let it soften at room temperature until it’s easy to mix, but not fully melted.
Combine the self-rising flour and softened ice cream in a bowl. Mix until you have a smooth, soft batter. If it’s too thick, add a splash of milk or an egg to reach the right consistency.
Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat and add a little butter or oil.
Pour the batter into the pan, just like you would with regular pancakes. Cook for a few minutes on each side until golden brown.
Serve up your fluffy ice cream pancakes hot off the pan and enjoy!
Delicious topping ideas
Now for the fun part — toppings! Whether you prefer a classic drizzle of maple syrup, a pat of butter, fresh fruit or a dusting of powdered sugar, the world is your oyster. And if you’re feeling extra indulgent, why not top your pancakes with another scoop of ice cream? After all, this trend is all about embracing the sweet side of breakfast.
