Total preparation time: 1 hour Preparation time: 30 minutes Baking time: 30 minutes Number of servings: 4 Necessary ingredients *For pancakes:* - 2 eggs - 300 ml milk (preferably at room temperature) - 300 ml sparkling water - 100 g sugar - 4 tablespoons oil (preferably sunflower or canola oil) - 400 g flour - 3 tablespoons cocoa - 1 teaspoon rum essence *For caramel ice cream:* - 100 g sugar - 300 ml milk - 1 tablespoon cornstarch - 250 ml liquid cream Recipe history Pancakes are a traditional dish in many cultures, with ancient origins. They have evolved over time, adapting to tastes and available ingredients. Caramel ice cream, on the other hand, is a more recent invention, but it quickly gained popularity due to its unique combination of sweet and salty. Together, these two delights offer an irresistible contrast of textures and flavors. Step by step for cocoa pancakes with caramel ice cream 1. Preparing the caramel ice cream - In a pan, add 100 g of sugar and caramelize it over medium heat, stirring constantly to avoid burning. When the sugar turns golden brown, remove it from the heat. - Carefully pour half of the cold milk (150 ml) over the caramel, stirring vigorously to combine. Ensure that the caramelized sugar dissolves completely. - Place the mixture over low heat and bring it to a boil, stirring constantly. - In a separate bowl, mix the remaining milk (150 ml) with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch until you obtain a smooth paste. - Pour the cornstarch mixture into the pan and simmer over low heat, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens. Then, let it cool completely. - Once cooled, gently fold in the whipped cream. Mix well and place the mixture in the freezer for 3-4 hours or until firm. 2. Preparing the cocoa pancakes - In a large bowl, mix the flour with the cocoa, sugar, eggs, warm milk, and sparkling water. Use a mixer or whisk to achieve a smooth batter similar to sour cream. - Add the oil and rum essence, mixing well to integrate all ingredients. - In another bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form. This will give the pancakes a fluffy texture. - Carefully fold the beaten egg whites into the pancake mixture, using a spatula to avoid losing air from the batter. 3. Cooking the pancakes - Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and grease it with a little oil. - Pour a ladle of pancake batter into the pan, swirling the pan to evenly distribute the batter. - Cook the pancake for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden. Repeat the process until the batter is used up. 4. Serving - Fill each pancake with caramel ice cream, then fold or roll the pancakes according to preference. - You can decorate with melted chocolate, chopped nuts, or additional caramel sauce for extra flavor. - Serve immediately, alongside a cup of coffee or aromatic tea. Practical tips - If you want to achieve fluffier pancakes, you can add half a teaspoon of baking powder to the batter. - For an even more intense cocoa flavor, use high-quality cocoa. This will make a difference in taste. - You can experiment with different flavors, such as vanilla or almond essence, to customize the dessert.

Can I use whole wheat flour instead of white flour? - Yes, you can substitute white flour with whole wheat flour, but you may need to adjust the amount of liquids since whole wheat flour absorbs more water. 2. How can I make the ice cream creamier? - Ensure that the cream is well whipped and that you mix everything at room temperature. You can also add a beaten egg to the mixture for a richer texture. 3. What other flavors can I add to the caramel ice cream? - You can try adding a pinch of sea salt for a salted caramel flavor or a bit of vanilla essence for an extra touch of flavor.
