- Form a little well in the middle and pour the milk and eggs mixture. Stir until the batter is smooth
- Mix in the chopped chocolate. Let the batter sit for 15-20 minutes
- To make the chocolate topping, in a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream, without letting it boil
- Take off the heat, mix with the chocolate chips until perfectly smooth
- Over low to medium heat, pour ¼ cup (60 ml) of pancake batter on a well-oiled or buttered pan

- When the pancakes are ready, pour the chocolate topping on top
- Garnish with raspberries or strawberries
