Filling:
- 7 ounces Hershey Cookies 'n' Creme chocolate bars chopped
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream
Ganache:
- 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chopped or chips
- ⅔ cup heavy cream
Pancakes:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 Tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- ¾ cup milk
- ½ cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- Vegetable oil for cooking
- 15 Oreos broken into pieces
Make the Cream Filling:
In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the chocolate bars in the microwave until smooth and melted. Pour the melted chocolate into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add the cream cheese and beat on high until smooth and combined.
Switch out the paddle attachment for the whisk attachment. With the mixer on low speed, slowly stream in the heavy cream. Once all the cream has been added, turn the mixer up to high and continue beating until fluffy. Refrigerate filling until ready to serve.
Make the Ganache:
Place chocolate in a medium bowl. Pour heavy cream into a glass measuring cup and heat in the microwave until it begins to boil. Immediately pour hot cream over chocolate, cover bowl with plastic wrap, and let sit for 5 minutes. Remove plastic wrap and stir until smooth.
Make the Pancakes:
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, lightly whisk the egg, milk, yogurt/sour cream, and vanilla. Stir in the melted butter. Fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined, avoiding over-mixing.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat with some vegetable oil. Once hot, pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet. Immediately place Oreo pieces evenly over the batter. Cook pancake until little bubbles begin to form on the surface. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining pancakes.
Serve pancakes warm, with cream filling and ganache.
