Ingredients
For the pancakes
- 12 large free-range eggs
- 500ml whole milk
- 250 ml liquid cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 250g plain flour
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- Unsalted butter for frying
For filling
- 1 kg mascarpone

- 5 tablespoons cognac
- 200 ml fresh cream
- Cocoa powder for sprinkling
- 20 g amaretti biscuits, crumbled
You will also need (if you are making the pancakes)…
- 18 cm pancake or sauté pan
Method
- If you’re making your own pancakes, blend the pancake ingredients (except the butter) in a food processor until combined, then put them in a pitcher. Heat a small knob of butter in the skillet over medium-high heat. When lightly bubbling, pour in enough batter to cover the pan, tilt until evenly combined, then cook for about 1 minute. The pancake is ready to flip when bubbles appear on the surface. Flip with a spatula and cook for another minute. Transfer to a plate and cover with a damp tea towel. Repeat to use the rest of the batter – this will make about 18 pancakes.
- In a large bowl, beat the marscapone, icing sugar, coffee and cognac with an electric mixer until lighter and slightly thicker. Add the double cream, then whip until combined and just holding its shape.
- Place a crepe on a serving board or plate and spread a little cream with a spatula. Repeat the operation, layering the pancakes and the cream, until all the pancakes are used up, ending with the rest of the cream. Generously dust the top with cocoa powder and sprinkle with crumbled amaretti.

If time is short, use 18 store-bought ready-made sweet pancakes, about 18cm in diameter (3 x 375g packets of 6, widely available in supermarkets).

Make up to 12 hours ahead without the cocoa powder and amaretti cookies. Cool in the refrigerator, then bring to room temperature before decorating and serving.
