Pancakes with banana and chocolate sauce Recipe

Pancakes with banana and chocolate sauce recipe
Riverford Organic Farmers

An quick, easy and delicious end to a meal: tender, thin pancakes wrapped around sweet bananas and a creamy chocolate sauce. To give a sheen to your chocolate sauce, add a small knob of butter to the melted chocolate and cream. Make this with our basic pancake batter.

Ingredients

200g dark chocolate
250ml double cream
50ml milk
25g unsalted butter
4 warm pancakes (see our basic pancake mixture recipe also on our website)
4 bananas

Method

1
To make the chocolate sauce, put the chocolate, 150ml of the cream, milk and butter in a heatproof bowl, one that fits snugly over a pan of barely simmering water. Melt together, being careful not to overheat then remove from the hob and gently stir to combine.
2
While the chocolate is melting, lightly whisk the rest of the cream to soft peaks.
3
Divide the warm pancakes between 4 serving plates.
4
Slice the bananas and lay them on one half of the pancake. Fold the pancake over and drizzle with the warm chocolate sauce. Serve with a dollop of the whipped cream.
5
If you have any chocolate sauce left over, you can keep it. It will harden as it cools, but you can soften it up by warming it gently, adding a splash of hot water to thin it if needed.
