    Layered Black Forest pancake stack with cherries and whipped chocolate ganache

    Serves: 8
    Cooking Time: 30 mins

    Ingredients

    • Pancakes

    • 8 pancakes (buy ready-made or make your own)
    • Ganache

    • 200g dark chocolate, chopped
    • 160ml fresh cream
    • 100g butter
    • fresh cherries, to serve
    • fresh cream, to serve

    Instructions

    1

    Melt the chocolate, cream and butter in a double boiler until smooth and glossy. Set aside to cool.

    2

    Whip the ganache using a hand mixer until light and spreadable (it must be very soft or you will tear the pancakes).

    3

    To assemble the stack, spread the whipped ganache over each pancake and stack on top of each other.

    4

    Press the stack down firmly so that all the layers ‘stick’ together. Cut the stack into wedges and serve with fresh cherries and whipped cream.
