Vegan Mango Pancake (Hong Kong-Style)
[ad_1]
Fruity, creamy, and moist, Hong Kong-style mango pancakes are irresistible stuffed sweet crepes. Today, we want to show you how you can make them dairy-free and egg-free with our quick and easy plant-based recipe!
Mango pancakes are a popular dessert in cafes, bakeries, and dim sum restaurants in Hong Kong. Although called pancakes, they’re more similar to a French crêpe than an American pancake.
Mango pancakes consist of fresh mango chunks topped with sweetened whipped cream and wrapped with a thin, yellow egg crepe. The crepe is then folded into a cute little pillow shape — as pretty as delicious!
If you have food allergies or are following a vegan diet, you’ll be happy to know you can now enjoy this wonderful Hong Kong-style mango dessert.
We revisited the classic recipe and replaced eggs and dairy with a few simple vegan alternatives!
We made the vegan crepe using silken tofu instead of eggs and coconut milk instead of dairy milk and butter. Then, we tipped in a little starch to help bind the pancake batter, plus turmeric to make it look yellow. Super easy!
As for the filling, we replaced the classic whipped cream with vegan cream cheese. It’s a coconut-based vegan cheese that is super easy to find at most supermarkets nowadays.
But, if you can’t find it, we’ll give two more options below.
And if you want to make these crepe-style pancakes healthier too, swap sugar with zero-calorie erythritol sweetener as we did. Same deliciousness but with fewer calories!
Follow our recipe instructions below for tips and tricks on how to cook and shape the vegan crepes — and these delicious mango pillow pancakes will be in your belly in no time!
Once you’re confident with the recipe, you can have fun making the crepes with other fillings like strawberries, kiwi, or bananas. We even made pancakes with durian cream filling!
And you can also give the pancakes a different colour, as it’s often done across Asia. For example, you can make them green with pandan leaf extract or matcha powder, purple with taro or ube extract, or even blue with butterfly pea flowers!
