Ingredients

Scale

For the Pancakes:

  • 1/2 cup (125 ml) milk
  • 1 medium egg (size M)
  • 1/3 cup (50 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract or 1/2 packet vanilla sugar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • A pinch of salt

For the Cream:

  • 2/3 cup (160 g) cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) heavy cream (35% fat)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar

For the Filling:

  • 3.5 oz (100 g) fresh raspberries

For the Raspberry Sauce:

  • 3.5 oz (100 g) fresh raspberries
  • 1/2 tablespoon sugar

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Pancake Batter

  1. In a bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, sugar, and vanilla extract.
  2. Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until smooth and lump-free.
  3. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes. This allows the flour to hydrate, resulting in softer pancakes.

Step 2: Prepare the Cream Filling

  1. In a mixing bowl, blend the cottage cheese with sugar until smooth.
  2. Separately, beat the heavy cream until it reaches soft peaks.
  3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cottage cheese mixture. Refrigerate until needed.

Step 3: Make the Raspberry Sauce

  1. Mash 50 grams of raspberries with sugar and strain through a sieve to remove seeds.
  2. Set aside for drizzling over the pancakes.

Step 4: Cook the Pancakes

  1. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
  2. Pour half of the batter into the pan, spreading it into an even circle.
  3. Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes.
  4. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  5. Let the pancakes cool slightly before assembling.

Step 5: Assemble the Pancakes

  1. Spread the cottage cheese cream evenly over each pancake.
  2. Add fresh raspberries and carefully roll them up.
  3. Drizzle with raspberry sauce and serve immediately.

Notes

Ingredient Substitutions

  • Flour: Use oat flour or almond flour for a gluten-free option.
  • Cottage Cheese: Swap for Greek yogurt for a tangier flavor.
  • Sweetener: Replace sugar with honey or maple syrup.

Storage & Reheating

  • Storage: Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  • Reheating: Warm in a microwave for 30 seconds or heat in a non-stick pan over low heat.

Pro Tips & Techniques

  • For extra fluffiness: Do not overmix the batter; a few lumps are okay.
  • Perfect sauce texture: Strain the raspberry sauce well to remove seeds.
  • Even cooking: Use a non-stick pan and keep heat at medium to avoid burning.

Troubleshooting & Common Mistakes

  • Batter too thick? Add 1–2 tablespoons of milk to adjust consistency.
  • Pancakes sticking to the pan? Ensure the pan is well-greased and heated before pouring the batter.
  • Filling too runny? Chill the cream mixture for 10 minutes before spreading.

Variations & Dietary Adaptations

  • Vegan: Use almond milk, a flax egg (1 tbsp flaxseed + 3 tbsp water), and coconut whipped cream.
  • Low-carb: Replace flour with almond flour and use a low-carb sweetener.
  • Extra protein: Add a scoop of chocolate protein powder to the batter.

Serving Suggestions

Pair these pancakes with:
