Stéphane’s Milk Chocolate Pancake Terrine

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3 eggs
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 8 ounces milk chocolate, chopped
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt.
2. Add the eggs, milk, and melted butter and whisk until the batter is smooth.
3. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and grease with nonstick cooking spray.
4. Ladle about 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet and swirl the pan to distribute the batter evenly.
5. Cook for about 2 minutes, or until the edges start to lift up and the top of the pancake appears dry.
6. Use a spatula to carefully flip the pancake and cook the other side for about 1 minute.
7. Repeat the process until all of the batter has been used up. You should have about 10-12 pancakes.
8. In a heatproof bowl, combine the chopped milk chocolate and heavy cream.
9. Set the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water and stir until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.
10. Remove the bowl from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
11. Line a loaf pan with plastic wrap, leaving enough overhang on the sides to cover the top of the terrine later on.
12. Place a layer of pancakes on the bottom of the lined loaf pan, cutting them as necessary to fit.
13. Spread a layer of the melted chocolate over the pancakes.
14. Repeat with another layer of pancakes and chocolate until all of the pancakes and chocolate have been used up.
15. Cover the top of the terrine with the overhanging plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
16. To serve, unwrap the terrine and slice it into thick slices using a sharp knife.
17. Garnish with fresh fruit, whipped cream, or additional chocolate sauce, if desired.
