Whisk all of the ingredients together until they form a smooth batter. Chill the batter for half an hour for the best results. However, if you can’t wait that long then you can begin cooking.
Heat a non-stick pancake pan and melt a small knob of butter. Ensure that the pan is coated with the butter and then add a ladle of the chocolate batter to the hot pan.
Cook the pancake for a few minutes until you see the small air bubbles form and the mixture firm up in the pan. In a mixing bowl place the cream, icing sugar, and vanilla.
