April’s Pancake of the Month Moment: New York Cheesecake Pancakes


For two months, the star attraction at IHOP is the New York Cheesecake Pancakes. The flavor has been such a hit in the past, they’re bringing it back through May 31 at the Pancake of the Moment. Imagine fluffy pancakes filled with rich cheesecake bites, all crowned with a generous topping of glazed strawberries. This indulgent treat is available as a full stack, a short stack, or as part of a combo meal, which includes two bacon strips or two pork sausage links, two eggs prepared your way, and crispy hash browns. It’s a breakfast lover’s dream come true! ​
