Preparation time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 30 minutes
Total time: 50 minutes
Number of servings: 8 pancakes

Ingredients

For the pancake batter:
- 600 ml milk
- 400 ml sparkling water
- 2 eggs
- 300 g flour
- A pinch of salt

For the filling:
- 1 packet of chocolate pudding (approx. 100 g)
- 400 ml milk (for pudding)
- 200 g coconut

Preparing the pancakes

1. Preparing the batter: In a large bowl, beat the 2 eggs until fluffy. Gradually add the 600 ml of milk and 400 ml of sparkling water, continuously mixing to avoid lumps.

2. Incorporating the flour: Sift the flour (300 g) and the pinch of salt directly into the liquid mixture. Use a whisk or mixer to homogenize the batter. It should be fluid and easy to pour, without lumps. If the batter is too thick, add a little more milk.

3. Cooking the pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil to prevent sticking. Pour a small ladle of batter into the skillet, tilting the skillet so that the batter spreads evenly. Cook the pancake for about 1-2 minutes, until the edges turn golden and the center is set. Flip the pancake with a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side. Repeat the process until you finish all the batter.

Preparing the pudding

1. Cooking the pudding: In a saucepan, bring the 400 ml of milk to a boil. Once the milk starts to boil, reduce the heat and add the chocolate pudding powder. Continuously stir until the pudding thickens, according to the instructions on the package. Once ready, let it cool slightly.

Assembling the pancakes

1. Filling the pancakes: Place one pancake on a plate. Add a generous portion of chocolate pudding in the center of the pancake, sprinkle a handful of coconut over the pudding, and cover with another pancake. Repeat this process to form a "cake" of pancakes, alternating layers of pudding and coconut.

2. Finishing: After arranging all the pancakes, you can sprinkle coconut on top for added appearance and flavor. Optionally, add some fresh fruits or chocolate sauce to enhance the presentation.

Serving suggestions

These coconut pudding pancakes are delicious both warm and cold! I recommend serving them with a glass of milk or a cup of aromatic tea. Additionally, a warm chocolate sauce or a fruit puree would make a wonderful accompaniment!

Useful tips and variations

- Filling variations: You can experiment with different flavors of pudding, such as vanilla or caramel. Also, add dried or fresh fruits for a touch of freshness.
- Gluten-free: Use gluten-free flour for a batter accessible to those with gluten intolerance.
- Tips for perfect pancakes: Make sure the skillet is well heated before pouring the batter. Also, let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes before cooking for fluffier pancakes.
- Calories and nutritional benefits: A serving of coconut pudding pancakes contains approximately 250-300 calories, depending on the ingredients used. They provide a good source of carbohydrates, proteins, and healthy fats from coconut.
