Chocolate Covered Strawberry Pancakes
Chocolate Covered Strawberry Pancakes are one of our favorite breakfasts. To begin these pancakes, I dip some strawberries in melted chocolate. While the chocolate hardens, I make my chocolate chip pancakes. Then, I top the pancakes with chopped strawberries. Next, I drizzle melted milk chocolate all over the pancakes and strawberries. Finally, I add some whipped cream and chocolate covered strawberries to each plate. All together, these components create a decadent and delicious breakfast.
The Equipment Needed
- A Food Scale- For perfect pancakes every time, be sure to weigh your flour.
- A Microwave- I use my microwave to melt my chocolate.
- A Griddle or Nonstick Skillet- Use an electric griddle or a nonstick skillet to cook your pancakes.
- Wax Paper- After I dip my strawberries in chocolate, I like to rest them on wax paper.
The Ingredients Needed for Chocolate Covered Strawberry Pancakes
- Milk Chocolate Bars- I always use Lindt Extra Creamy Milk Chocolate bars. But, you could use semisweet or dark chocolate if that’s what you prefer.
- Flour- Use all purpose flour.
- Sour Cream or Greek yogurt- Whichever one you use, be sure and use a full fat product.
- Chocolate Chips- I like to use mini chocolate chips.
How I Made my Pancakes
- First, I made my chocolate dipped strawberries. It’s important to stir your chocolate every ten seconds, so that it melts evenly. Chill the berries in the refrigerator, so that they firm up.
- Next, I stir up my pancake batter. When you make pancakes, it’s important not to overmix them. Just stir the batter, until no streaks of flour remain.
- Then, I cooked the pancakes. It’s important to watch the pancakes, and to make sure they don’t burn. The chocolate chips can burn easily.
- Finally, I top the pancakes with the berries and melted chocolate. I also add whipped cream and the chocolate covered strawberries.

Chocolate Covered Strawberry Pancakes
Chocolate chip pancakes topped with strawberries, melted milk chocolate, whipped cream, and chocolate covered strawberries.
Ingredients
For the Chocolate Covered Strawberries:
- 8 strawberries, cored
- 3.5 ounces milk chocolate, chocolate
For the Chocolate Covered Strawberry Pancakes and other toppings:
- 1 cup all purpose flour (120g)
- 1 tbsp. baking powder
- ¼ tsp. salt
- 1 tbsp. sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup whole milk
- ¼ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp. melted butter
- ⅓ cup mini chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp. butter, for greasing the pan
- 2 cups chopped strawberries
- 1 3.5 ounce milk chocolate bar, chocolate
- 1 cup whipped cream
Instructions
- Begin by making the Chocolate Covered Strawberries: Make sure your strawberries are very dry, so that the chocolate will adhere to your strawberries. Place the chopped chocolate in a bowl and microwave the chocolate, stirring it every ten seconds. Do this until the chocolate is all melted. Dip each strawberry in the chocolate and then place it on a wax paper lined plate. Refrigerate the berries while you make the pancakes.
- Begin the pancakes by sifting together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar into a large mixing bowl.
- In a second bowl, beat together the egg, milk, and yogurt/sour cream. Then, stir this mixture into the flour mixture. Mix just until no flour streaks remain. Stir in the melted butter, and then the chocolate chips.
- Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle, and melt a teaspoon of butter. Depending on what size you want your pancakes, ladle the correct amount of batter onto the skillet. When bubbles appear, flip your pancakes. Add more butter, as necessary.
- While the pancakes cook, melt the milk chocolate in a bowl in the microwave. Stir every ten seconds, until the chocolate is all melted.
- Top the pancakes with the chopped strawberries and then drizzle them with the melted chocolate. Add some whipped cream and chocolate covered strawberries to each plate.
