Now here’s something I came up with one rainy afternoon and I’m craving chocolates and hotcake at the same time. Since I cannot go out because of the rain, I checked the pantry and looked for something that could satisfy my cravings.
I’m going to call this one KitCake, short for Kitkat and hotcake.
This is very easy to do. All I needed are:
- A cup of ice cream (in the photo, I used cookies and cream ice cream)
- hotcake mix (I used up 1/3 of the mix or just enough to form a medium thick pancake; just follow instructions in the box. Usually, all you need to do is mix 1/3 of the mix with 1/2 cup of water or more, depending on the thickness of the hotcake that you want, mixing it until all the powder has been dissolved)
- A Kitkat bar
After preparing the hotcake mix, I heated a Teflon-coated pan. I prefer to use butter instead of oil, because it only takes a minute amount to be able to cover the whole pan. When the pan is already heated, I poured the hotcake mix, tipping the pan from side to side and in circular motion to spread the mix evenly on the pan. Make sure you’re only using medium heat, as using higher temperatures will guarantee that you’ll end up with a burnt hotcake. One would know if you can already turn the hotcake if there are already bubbles on the surface and if the edges are already lightly brown. Flip the pancake carefully by using a spatula designed for a Teflon-coated pan (as you wouldn’t want to scratch it). Cook the second side half the time that you cooked the first side, so at the end, you’ll end up with a pancake that is lighter in color on one side. Remove the pancake.
Take the Kitkat bar and crumble it on the pan. Again, use low to medium heat. Aim to only slightly melt the chocolate-coated wafers. When it’s done, you could put 3/4 of the melted chocolate at one side of the pancake and then fold, so that the melted chocolate-coated wafers are inside the pancake. Get your favorite ice cream flavor and put generous amounts on top of your KitCake. Put 1/4 of the melted chocolate-coated wafer on top of the ice cream.
Enjoy! But remember to share, because this dessert can serve up to 3 people. Or maybe just one person, if he’s hungry and doesn’t want to share his blessings. Haha.
