Pancakes built for after dinner. Think chocolate batters, caramel sauces, ice cream, fresh fruit, and toppings that go well past lemon and sugar. These are the recipes for when Pancake Day is the main event of the meal, not breakfast.

Dessert pancakes — questions
Can pancakes be a dessert?
Yes — many traditional desserts are pancake-based. French crepes Suzette, Russian blini with jam, and German Kaiserschmarrn are all built around sweet pancakes served as pudding.
What is the most indulgent pancake recipe?
Crepes Suzette — thin crepes flambeed in butter, sugar, orange juice, and Grand Marnier — is the classic indulgent dessert pancake. Chocolate pancakes with hot fudge are a worthy modern alternative.
Can you reheat dessert pancakes?
Yes. Stack them between sheets of parchment and reheat in a low oven (around 150C) for 10 minutes, or microwave briefly. They keep best if reheated without their toppings.
What is a good Pancake Day dessert?
A stack of crepes layered with Nutella and banana, or a single crepe folded around ice cream and warm chocolate sauce, both make excellent Pancake Day desserts.
