Step 1
To make the chocolate sauce, put the chocolate, 150ml of the cream, milk and butter in a heatproof bowl, one that fits snugly over a pan of barely simmering water. Melt together, being careful not to overheat then remove from the hob and gently stir to combine. -
Step 2
While the chocolate is melting, lightly whisk the rest of the cream to soft peaks. -
Step 3
Divide the warm pancakes between 4 serving plates. -
Step 4
Slice the bananas and lay them on one half of the pancake. Fold the pancake over and drizzle with the warm chocolate sauce. Serve with a dollop of the whipped cream. -
Step 5
If you have any chocolate sauce left over, you can keep it. It will harden as it cools, but you can soften it up by warming it gently, adding a splash of hot water to thin it if needed.
