Instructions
Preparation
- In a bowl, mix flour, cocoa, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together milk, egg, butter, and vanilla.
- Pour the wet mix into the dry mix and stir until just combined. Don't overmix — small lumps are fine. Fold in chocolate chips if using.
- Heat a greased pan over medium heat. Pour batter (about 1/4 cup per pancake).
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until set. Keep pancakes warm.
Assembly
- Stack warm chocolate pancakes on a plate.
- Add a scoop or two of ice cream.
- Drizzle hot fudge or chocolate sauce over the top.
- Top with whipped cream and a cherry. Sprinkle chocolate shavings or nuts if desired.
Notes
Serve pancakes warm so the ice cream melts just slightly. Customize toppings for personal preferences.
