Calories: 225.24kcal
Ingredients
For the pancakes
- 100 grams self raising flour
- 25 grams cocoa powder
- 50 grams caster sugar
- 300 ml milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tbsp butter
For the chocolate sauce
- 75 grams dark chocolate chopped
- 150 ml double cream
For the raspberry compote
- 250 grams raspberries
- 1 tbsp icing sugar
For some added crunch
- 2 tbsp cacao nibs
Instructions
To make the pancakes
- Sift the flour, cocoa powder and sugar (aka the dry ingredients) into a large mixing bowl.
- Whisk the dry ingredients so they are well mixed.
- In a jug or bowl with a pouring spout, whisk the milk and eggs (aka the wet ingredients).
- Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and slowly add the wet ingredients.
- Keep whisking making sure the batter is smooth (add too quickly and you risk lumps!)
- Melt a little butter in a frying pan.
- Spoon a ladle of the batter into the centre of the pan and cook for 2 minutes or until bubbles appear and burst on the surface of the pancake.
- Carefully flip them over and cook for another 1 - 2 minutes (they should be light and springy to the touch).
- Keep the pancakes warm on a plate while you cook the rest of the batter.
To make the chocolate sauce
- Heat the cream until it is almost simmering.
- Pour the cream over the chocolate and stir until the chocolate has melted and the sauce is smooth.
To assemble
- Place 2/3rds of the raspberries in a bowl and mash gently with a fork.
- Stir the icing sugar into the mashed raspberries making sure there are no lumps.
- Spread the mashed raspberries between each pancake.
- Stack the remaining raspberries on top of the pancakes and drizzle over the chocolate sauce.
- Finally, sprinkle over the cacao nibs and serve.
