Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Skillet Pancake

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Add pancake mix, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, and milk to a medium mixing bowl. Gently whisk until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the pancake batter into a lightly greased 10-inch cast iron skillet and top with chocolate chips. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the pancake comes out clean.
While the pancake is cooking, beat cream cheese for 2-3 minutes in a chilled medium mixing bowl until smooth.
Slowly add the heavy whipping cream until it's all combined with the cream cheese.
Continue beating on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the whipped cream and beat on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form (about 5-10 minutes). Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Slice the skillet pancake and serve with the cream cheese whipped cream and a dusting of pumpkin pie spice and a cinnamon stick, if desired
