Roughly chop the roasted almonds and pecans. Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Toast the nuts until golden, 1-2 minutes. Add the brown sugar, the water and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until bubbling and the caramel has thickened, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a sheet of baking paper and spread out to cool.
Place the longlife cream (see ingredients) in a large bowl and whisk with electric beaters until soft peaks form and almost doubled in size, 2-3 minutes. Gently stir through the cherry sauce. Set aside.
TIP: If you don't have electric beaters, use a hand metal whisk.
TIP: For the perfect soft peaks, whip until the cream just clings to the whisk or beater when lifted.
Place the butter (for the pancakes) in a large bowl and microwave in 10 second bursts or until melted. Add the eggs, Greek-style yoghurt and milk to the bowl. Lightly whisk to combine. Add the dry pancake mix and whisk until just combined.
TIP: Don't worry if the batter is thick, it makes for fluffy pancakes!
Wipe out the frying pan and return to a medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When the pan is hot, add 1/3 cups of the pancake batter in batches, and cook until golden, 4-5 minutes each side.
TIP: Use some butter for frying if preferred.
TIP: Save time and cook your pancakes on two non-stick frying pans if possible!
Place the dark chocolate chips and vegetable oil chunks in a heatproof bowl. Microwave for 20 second bursts, stirring each time, until the chocolate has melted.
TIP: Melting chocolate in 20 second bursts stops the chocolate from burning.
Divide the pancakes between plates and drizzle with the chocolate. Sprinkle with the candied nuts and serve with the cherry cream.
