Ingredients

2 cup (300g) self-raising flour

1/4 cup (25g) cocoa

1/3 cup (75g) caster sugar

1 2/3 cup (410ml) skim milk

2 eggs, lightly beaten

40 gram margarine, melted

100 gram dark eating chocolate, finely chopped

1/3 cup (80ml)reduced-fat cream

12 small strawberries

50 gram white eating chocolate, melted

light vanilla ice-cream, to serve

Method

1.Sift flour and cocoa into a large bowl. Stir in sugar, milk and egg until combined and smooth.

2.Heat a small non-stick frying pan on medium. Brush with a little margarine. For each pancake, pour 1/4 cup of batter into pan. Spread to a 12cm round. Cook for 1-2 mins, until bubbles appear on surface. Turn and cook for 1-2 mins, until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate. Cover with foil to keep warm. Repeat with remaining margarine and batter to make 12 pancakes.

3.Meanwhile, combine dark chocolate and cream in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water (do not let bowl touch water). Cook, stirring, for 3-4 mins, until melted and smooth. Remove from heat. Remove bowl from saucepan. Cool slightly.

4.Line a baking tray with baking paper. Place strawberries on prepared tray. Drizzle with white chocolate. Set aside for 5 mins, until set.

5.Stack two pancakes on each serving plate. Drizzle with chocolate sauce. Top with ice-cream and strawberries. Serve.

For less sweet pancakes,use cooking chocolate instead of eating chocolate, which contains more sugar. Replace strawberries with cherries or serve pancakes with figs, if you like.
