Preparation

Pancakes:

Step 1

Add the milk, flour and eggs to a bowl. Beat until the batter is smooth.

Step 2

Slice open the vanilla pods lengthwise. Scrape out the seeds with a knife, add to the batter and stir well.

Step 3

Melt the butter over a low heat, then pour it into the batter along with a pinch of salt.

Step 4

Add a dash of peanut oil to your non-stick pan, heat it up until it’s nice and warm and start cooking those pancakes!

Filling:

Step 1

Pour the cream and sugar into a mixing cup, then whip until airy and fluffy.

Step 2

Spoon the mascarpone into the whipped cream and mix until there are no more lumps. Your filling is ready!

Chocolate ganache:

Step 1

Place the chocolate and cream in a bowl. Melt the contents of the bowl by heating it in a bain-marie.

Step 2

Stir the melted chocolate and cream to create a smooth sauce, then mix in 3 tablespoons of butter. And that’s your chocolate ganache all ready!

The pie:

Step 1

Drape a pancake onto a plate and spread an even layer of filling over it. Add another pancake on top, smoothing out more filling over it.

Continue that way until you’ve created a pretty stack.

Step 2

Drizzle the chocolate ganache over your stack of pancakes.

Step 3

Decorate by piping whipped cream on top.
