Method of preparation.

1. Prepare the pancakes. Mix the flour with eggs, milk, salt, and sugar. Knead the mixture. Brew cocoa with boiling water and add to the batter. Mix and add the oil. If necessary, strain through a sieve.

2. Fry like regular pancakes on a greased frying pan on both sides.

3. Prepare the cream. Mix all the ingredients. The cream should be very cold. So should the cream cheese. Start beating with a mixer at low speed until smooth and fluffy.

4. Melt the chocolate in a water bath. Let cool and add up to half of the cream.

5. Put the cream through a pastry bag in strips at a distance from each other.

6. Put another pancake on top and press the top pancake where it is empty with a wooden skewer. Alternate the cream.

8. Put in the fridge to stabilize. Sprinkle with cocoa before serving.
