Berry Forest Pancake Stack
So imagine this - warm chocolate chip pancakes, a scoop (or two) of Berry Forest ice cream, a healthy drizzle of berry sauce, sprinkled with dark chocolate chunks and freeze dried berries.
Mother’s day is a day to celebrate all the wonderful mama’s in your life. Whether it’s your Mum, your Grandmother, yourself or even your best friends with kids, it’s a day to treat those hard working ladies; and what better way to do it then with brunch! Now not any brunch, this is veryyyyy decadent and delicious, and it involves every sweet tooth’s dream...ice cream for breakfast. This recipe is super simple and only involves one pan and a few different ingredients for assembly, plus there’s no quantities (when it comes to pancakes, I like to think serving suggestions are infinite) so you can make as many or as little as you want.
I chose to base this recipe on the idea of serving it with ice cream, and the ice cream I chose to use was the Tip Top, Top Notch Berry Forest ice cream! I’ve eyed it up nearly every time I’ve walked past the frozen section at the supermarket; it’s a rich chocolate ice cream with a slightly tangy berry ripple and chocolate biscuit chunks. Ohhhh yeahhhhhhhh. So with those flavours in mind, I picked a couple of toppings that both compliment the flavour as well as provide a number of different textures. It’s SO bad but soooo goooooood. Check out the recipe below!

Ingredients
To assemble:
My fave pancake recipe is from the Edmond’s cookbook, as follows:
- Pancakes (use your favourite pancake mix/recipe and add chocolate chips!)
- Top Notch Berry Forest Ice Cream
- Mixed berry sauce
- Chopped dark chocolate
- Freeze dried berries
To assemble:
- Place your desired number of pancakes on a plate.
- Scoop the ice cream on top, then drizzle with berry sauce.
- Sprinkle with chopped dark chocolate and freeze dried berries, and serve with cutlery and a hug!
My fave pancake recipe is from the Edmond’s cookbook, as follows:
- 2 cups standard flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 ½ cups milk, approximately
- Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl.
- In another bowl beat the eggs and sugar with a whisk until pale and thick.
- Add the egg mixture and the milk to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Gently heat a non-stick frying pan and drop large spoonfuls of the mixture from the point of the spoon onto the surface.
- When bubbles start to burst on the top of the pikelets, turn them over and cook the second side until golden. Place in a clean tea towel to keep warm until they are all ready to serve.
Thanks to Tip Top for making this post possible.
