Preparation

  • In a large bowl, pour the eggs, milk, flour and vanilla. Whisk vigorously to break lumps. Pour into a bowl or cup with a pouring spout.
  • In a frying pan over medium heat, add a few drops of vegetable oil and spread with a paper towel. Pour a small ladle of pancake mixture (about 1/3 cup) into the center and rotate to create a large, round crepe but thin, about 8 “in diameter.
  • Cook for about 2 minutes or until lightly browned then flip. Continue cooking 2 minutes until golden brown and reserve on a plate. Repeat with the rest of the mixture and spread a little vegetable oil every 2-3 pancakes. Let the pancakes cool 5 minutes.
  • In a bain-marie, melt the chocolate. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • In small saucepan heated to medium heat, add all the ingredients for the syrup and cook for 2 to 3 minutes to melt the butter and brown sugar. Bring to a boil and simmer for 1 minute. Remove from heat and sert aside.
  • Assembly : On a work surface or on a plate, spread about 1 1/2 tablespoon mascarpone on a crepe and then put in a nice presentation plate. Pour 2 teaspoons syrup on top.
    Still on a flat surface, spread the same amount of cheese on a crepe and place on the other. Pour about 2 tablespoons melted chocolate. Repeat the process by adding crepes garnished with mascarpone cheese, alternating with syrup and chocolate.
    Finish with a virgin crepe on top and garnish with syrup and melted chocolate. Top with whipped cream to taste and serve with the remaining syrup! Eat immediately!
