1/4 teaspoon baking soda
06 -
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
07 -
240 ml whole milk
08 -
1 large egg
09 -
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
10 -
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
11 -
90 g milk chocolate chips, melted and cooled
→ Molten White Chocolate & Raspberry Core
12 -
90 g white chocolate chips
13 -
60 ml heavy cream
14 -
70 g fresh raspberries, lightly mashed
→ Topping
15 -
60 g ruby chocolate, roughly chopped into shards
16 -
Fresh raspberries, optional
17 -
Powdered sugar, for dusting, optional
# Steps:
01 -
In a heatproof bowl, combine white chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave in 20-second increments, stirring until smooth and fully melted. Allow to cool briefly, then fold in mashed raspberries. Refrigerate the mixture for 10 minutes to thicken.
02 -
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk whole milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Add liquid ingredients to the dry mixture, pour in melted milk chocolate, and gently combine until a smooth batter forms. Avoid overmixing for a tender texture.
03 -
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or oil.
04 -
Spoon 2 tablespoons of batter onto the pan for each pancake. Quickly place a heaping teaspoon of the chilled white chocolate and raspberry mixture in the center. Cover with an additional tablespoon of batter, sealing the edges.
05 -
Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until bubbles develop at the edges and the base is golden brown. Gently flip and cook for another 2 minutes, ensuring the center remains molten.
06 -
Stack the cooked pancakes on serving plates. Generously top with ruby chocolate shards, additional fresh raspberries, and a light dusting of powdered sugar if desired. Serve promptly to enjoy the molten center.
# Notes:
01 -
For enhanced berry flavor, incorporate a few drops of raspberry extract into the molten core.
02 -
If ruby chocolate is unavailable, use white chocolate with freeze-dried raspberries for a similar effect.
03 -
Pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a sumptuous dessert variation.
04 -
Serve pancakes hot to ensure a molten center.
