20 pancakes, either homemade or pre-packaged
3 c. heavy cream, divided
1 box instant vanilla pudding mix
2 tsp. vanilla extract, divided
2 c. semisweet chocolate chips
Preparation
Step 1Prepare pancakes according to package instructions. Step 2While pancakes are cooking, make the pastry cream: In a medium bowl, beat together 2 cups of heavy cream, pudding mix, and vanilla. Beat just until the mixture thickens. Set aside.Step 3Make the chocolate ganache: Place chocolate chips in a medium bowl. In a small saucepan, heat 2 cups of heavy cream until small bubbles start to form around the edges. Pour heated cream over the chocolate chips, and let sit for 3 minutes. Stir the chocolate until the mixture is smooth and shiny. Step 4Assemble the pancake stacks: Place a pancake on a plate and cover with a tablespoon of pastry cream. Top with another pancake. Repeat process to make the stack as tall as you’d like. Top the final pancake with a few tablespoons of ganache, letting the excess fall over the sides. Serve immediately.
