- In a medium heatproof bowl, combine chocolate and heavy cream. Microwave in 20- to 30-second increments until melted and smooth. Set aside.
- Heat a griddle over medium heat. Coat with butter or oil. For each pancake, drop ¼ cup of batter onto skillet. Cook until bubbles form and bottom is done. Flip and cook another minute or two. Keep warm.
