Recipe: 2-Ingredient Ice Cream Pancakes

A documented viral trend (softened ice cream mixed with flour to make instant pancake batter), confirmed as a genuine TikTok craze rather than an invented combination.

Ingredients

• 1 cup ice cream (any flavour), softened to room temperature
• 1 cup all-purpose flour

Method

1. Let the ice cream sit out for 10-15 minutes until fully softened.
2. Mix the softened ice cream with the flour until it forms a smooth, thick pancake batter. Add a splash of milk if too thick to pour.
3. Heat a lightly greased non-stick pan over low-medium flame.
4. Pour a small ladle of batter onto the pan and spread gently into a circle.
5. Cook for 2 minutes, until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
6. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden on both sides.
7. Repeat with the remaining batter.
8. Serve warm with a drizzle of honey, chocolate syrup, an ice cream scoop or fresh fruit.

Tip: The ice cream flavour carries the whole pancake; a richer flavour like cookies and cream or chocolate chip gives a more distinct result than plain vanilla.
