Soft chocolate-rolled pancakes are a timeless treat beloved by both young and old. They're easy to make, delightfully soft, and perfectly combine the lightness of homemade pancake batter with a rich, creamy chocolate filling. Great for cozy mornings, special occasions, or anytime you want to indulge your sweet tooth!

Ingredients (for about 12 pancakes):

For the pancake batter:

  • 250 g all-purpose flour
  • 3 eggs
  • 500 ml (50 cl) whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 packet vanilla sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tablespoon neutral oil (sunflower or grapeseed oil)
  • 1 tablespoon rum (optional)

For the chocolate filling:

  • 200 g dark baking chocolate
  • 200 ml (20 cl) heavy cream
  • 20 g butter
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (optional, for extra sweetness)

Step-by-step: How to Make Soft Chocolate-Rolled Pancakes

1. Prepare the pancake batter:

In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, vanilla sugar, and a pinch of salt. Make a well in the center and add the eggs. Gradually whisk in the milk until there are no lumps and the batter is smooth. Stir in the oil and, if desired, the rum. Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature to ensure extra soft pancakes.

2. Cook the pancakes:

Heat a nonstick frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease it. Pour in a ladleful of batter, swirl to cover the pan. Cook each pancake for 1–2 minutes on one side until golden, then flip and cook for another minute. Stack the pancakes and cover with a towel to keep them soft.

3. Make the chocolate filling:

Melt the chocolate and butter together using a double boiler or in the microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently. Stir in the heavy cream and (if desired) the powdered sugar. Mix until silky and slightly thickened, then let cool just enough to spread easily.

4. Assemble the pancakes:

Spread a generous layer of the chocolate filling on each pancake and gently roll them up. For extra flair, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with melted chocolate before serving.
