This is a delicious cute breakfast. The cinnamon adds a festive feel to the pancakes and the fruit based syrup gives it a more complex grown up flavour.
The hot cocoa is rich and decedent and the pepper adds a most unexpected dimension. It gives a slow smokey burn that somehow goes beautifully with the chocolate (because what doesn’t go beautifully with chocolate? )
Definitely try this one out and have an awesome day !
