Chocolate French Silk Pancakes.
Chocolate french silk pie usually contains raw eggs. And lots and lots of chocolate. And mounds of whipped cream. Mmmm. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Except that whole raw egg thing.
Don’t fear. I’m not sharing pancakes and raw eggs with you today… instead I’m sharing pancakes that taste like french silk pie.
And I owe it all to this little can. Oh, and that cocoa above.
I adore coconut milk. You should too. It’s creamy and delicious.
And if you don’t like coconut? You can’t even taste it in these pancakes. I promise.
Unless you’re some kind of super coconut-tasting sleuth.
Not only are these pancakes simple and quick, they are pretty healthy too.
I topped mine with plain ole’ syrup, but trust me – I wanted to top them with chocolate syrup, whipped cream, vanilla cream glaze, and chocolate chips.
All at once.
Oh, and I gave the pancakes a little sprinkling of cocoa powder.
There is no such thing as too much chocolate.
Creamy and fluffy.
What more could you want from a pancake?

I’m not really a pancake kind of girl, but these look AMAZING
If you put chocolate chips in these, I might ask you to marry me.
These sound so good! I love pancakes of every variety but I haven’t chocolate in a while so I’ll make sure to try these out soon
Thank you for all your delicious recipes!
I love love love pancakes. I’m guessing you could also use plain ol’ whole wheat flour? Rather then ww pastry flour? Just checking since I just bought a giant bag of it! :)
I would use all purpose or maybe 1/2 and 1/2 mix. I would think that all whole wheat flour would make these too grainy and not quite as soft/fluffy.
Well my mouth is watering from just looking at these pictures! I know what I’m having for breakfast tomorrow…
coconut tasting sleuth..lol..to funny
heaven.
Mmh these look so fluffy!! Chocolate and coconut milk?? Yes please!
Oh wow..yumm!! I must try these!
These sound and look AMAZING. I think I’m going to give them a try and add some chocolate chips ;) Never can have too much CHOCOLATE!
Bravo!
Holy chocolate!
I would need to double the recipe to satisfy this chocolate craving :)
WOWZERS. I am making these tomorrow with egg-replacer. SOunds FANTASTIC! Thanks girl!
Me too, and gluten-free for me. I find that pancakes made gluten-free, egg-free, and dairy-free using coconut milk tend to stick but for this, I’m going to chance it! And probably use a lot of grease in the pan!
Well THESE certainly look ahmmmazing! Sounds delicious.. and nice job on the clean-up :) Pretty sure I’d be licking the plate!
There’s snow in the forecast for tomorrow morning. Snow day= pancakes. I’ll expect you by late tonight so that you don’t get delayed by the snow. Deal?
I like to think I’m a coconut-tasting sleuth…I just hadn’t ever thought of a name for it, so thanks!! :D But seriously, if you say that you can’t really taste it, I suppose I’ll give these a try!
I have never heard of such a confection, but I can guarantee that they will be in my life forever.
As I was checking to see if they called off school I saw you posted this. Tried it this morning big hit! The girls loved them. It was fast and very simple. Plus super good. Thanks for the great start to our day!
So glad they were a hit! :)
I’m still drooling over the bbq chicken enchiladas.
Those are my kind of pancakes!
Wow! Yum—those look and sound delicious. Thanks for the idea and recipe–I’m always trying to think of ways to turn dessert-y things into breakfast food :)
Wow, I think this might be the most creative pancake recipe ever. I love it.
Oh God..I almost licked my computer screen. I’m glad I stopped myself – my coworkers would really think I’m nuts!!
I can’t wait to make these. They look so divine!
I want to lick the plate…..seriously. They look amazing.
delish! anything w/ coconut milk…is a winner :)
I know I’m weird but the whole raw egg thing has never scared me. The day the egg scare happened I made homemade mayonnaise.
LOL! Me either girl. Me either.
Oh my gosh…I love how you think! I need these in my life immediately!
omg…..I had french silk pie for the first time with Christmas dinner and it was divine….These pancakes sound amazing as well!
Isn’t is amazing?!
What a great idea using light coconut milk and whole wheat flour. I use light coconut milk in my soups, love the creaminess without the dairy.
drooooool. that is all.
chocolate for breakfast is the best way to start your day, those look delish!

Yummmm! TJ’s light coconut milk is the best! It doesn’t seem as light as others, but it’s the same nutrition information. Love it :)
Yum!
Maybe just a few harmless chocolate chips should have made it on the plate. Just a few. Otherwise, PERFECTION!
That’s why these were missing!
Your last photo really makes this post. love it! Your pancakes looked divine! Have you ever topped pancakes with a nut-butter? MMM MM!
Oh yes. http://www.howsweeteats.com/2010/09/15/peanut-butter-and-jelly-pancakes/
Those look awesome! I just tried coconut milk for the first time last week…I’ll have to use this recipe now!
Ummmmm yes please, for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!
Oh my gosh! I’m making this for dinner tonight since I’m kicking myself for not seeing this earlier!
Chocolate for breakfast = perfection.
These are on the menu for Saturday morning!
Is it bad that I hope to get snowed in tomorrow so I have time to make these for breakfast?? :)
Perfectly normal!
Sometimes you really make my jaw drop. And this is one of the times it hit the floor. Droooooool.
Can you say HeAvEnLy?!?
Oh.my.word! I am thinking of a stack of these with some peanut butter sauce drizzled all down the sides and my mouth WON’T stop watering!
Yeah. That sounds amazing.
Holy yum…I smell a weekend recipe adding itself to me menu list!
Would it be going too far to top these with toasted coconut?
Never.
Hmm, never thought of adding coconut milk to pancake batter. I can’t stand that stuff on it’s own, but I’m sure I’d love it in a pancake with cocoa too!
Oh MY! I want to make these IMMEDIATELY! Too bad I just had foot surgery and can’t stand hahaha… And I doubt my husband will make them :( Oh well I guess now I have something to look forward to when I recover!
