  • 4 medium-sized eggs at room temperature
  • 25g sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 120ml milk

  • 2 level tablespoons baking cocoa/cocoa powder (unsweetened)

  • Method

  • 1
    Place the Le Creuset 26cm Heart Skillet on the middle rack of an oven preheated to 220°C.
  • 2
    Blend the eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until creamy. Stir in the flour, cocoa powder and salt and continue beating. While the oven is preheating, let the pancake batter rest for at least 10 minutes.

    Mix the batter again just before adding it to the hot skillet. Melt the butter in the hot skillet and pour in the batter, swirling the skillet gently. Be careful as it will be very hot.

    Bake in the preheated oven for 12 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 180°C and allow to bake for another 5-10 minutes.

    Dust with powdered sugar, place vanilla ice cream in the centre and decorate with liquid chocolate coating and coconut chips. Serve immediately.
