• Roughly chop roasted almonds and pecans. • Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Toast nuts, tossing until golden, 1-2 minutes. • Add the brown sugar, water and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until the caramel is bubbling and thickened 2-3 minutes. • Transfer to a sheet of baking paper and spread out to cool.
• In a large bowl, place cream (see ingredients) and whisk with electric beaters until soft peaks form and almost doubled in size, 1-2 minutes. • Using a spoon, gently stir through the cherry sauce. Set aside.
TIP: If you don't have electric beaters, use a metal whisk and whisk for 3-4 minutes. TIP: Chill both your bowl and cream before whipping to get maximum volume.
• In a large heatproof bowl, microwave the butter in 10 second bursts until melted. • Add the eggs, Greek-style yoghurt and milk to the butter. Lightly whisk to combine. • Add 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 medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When the pan is hot, cook 1/3 cups of pancake batter, in batches, until golden and set, 4-5 minutes each side.
TIP: Use some butter for frying if preferred. TIP: Save time and cook your pancakes in two non-stick frying pans if possible!
• Meanwhile, place dark chocolate chips and vegetable oil in a medium heatproof bowl. • Microwave in 20 second bursts, stirring each time, until melted and smooth.
TIP: Melting chocolate in 20 second bursts stops it from burning.
• Divide pancakes between plates and top with some dark chocolate drizzle. Dollop cherry cream on top and sprinkle with candied nuts to serve. Enjoy!
