The perfect, golden pancakes look every bit as delicious as our best pancake recipes<\/a> (you know, the ones made the old-fashioned way). The recipe has us asking so many questions. What type of ice cream do we need? Do the pancakes taste like ice cream? And (most importantly) why didn't anyone tell us this was possible sooner?\r\n

Can you really make pancakes with melted ice cream?<\/h2>\r\nThis ice cream pancake hack works like magic! Well, perhaps not in the Harry Potter sense, but in the food science sense. You see, most ice cream recipes<\/a> contain the same ingredients used in pancake batter: dairy, sugar and vanilla. Many also include eggs or egg yolks (especially frozen custard<\/a>).\r\n\r\nOnce melted, the ice cream creates a rich pancake base that's just a few ingredients shy of becoming pancake batter. All you need to add is a bit of flour and a leavening agent (like baking powder), and you're ready to fire up your griddle.\r\n\r\nWe really couldn't believe how amazing these pancakes turned out. They're fluffy, tender, subtly sweet and have an incredible vanilla aroma and flavor. Forget about ice cream sundaes; we may start buying ice cream just to make these ridiculously tasty pancakes! (Although we might save some to make ice cream bread<\/a>, too.)\r\n
