3 Tbsp of olive oil EVO
2 tsp of vanilla extract

50 g of powdered sugar
2 tsp of vanilla sugar
300 g of Mascarpone/ or neutral cream cheese
and:
Chocolate topping for drizzle on a top
Preparation:
First make the vanilla filling.
Vanilla Cream:
Add pudding powder to 150 ml of milk and one teaspoon flour. Mix well without lumps.
Pour sugar into the rest of the milk and add the lemon peel, heat on low to moderate heat.
When the milk is heated, add the vanilla pudding mixture and mix with wire for about 10 minutes, until the mixture becomes thick.
Remove the mixture from the heat and allow it to cool, covered with plastic wrap.
Now make the cheese filling.
Cheese Cream:
In a small bowl, add mascarpone and powdered sugar and beat, add vanilla flavoring and sweet cream. Mix all the ingredients well.
At the end, you can add the chocolate drops and stir briefly once more. Set aside the creams to cool.
Make the pancakes now. You can make pancakes as needed and continue baking the next day, because the dough can definitely stay in the freezer overnight.
Cocoa Pancake:
Beat the eggs, sugar and salt. Add milk, water, Greek yogurt, oil, vanilla extract, sifted flour and sifted cocoa. Beat everything well. Stir in the melted butter.
Leave to stand for 30 minutes.
Heat a spoon of oil until it is hot before pouring the mixture.
Fry the pancakes in the usual way.
Before each pancake, add a spoonful of oil.
Pour the mixture with one hand, and quickly twist the pan with the other to distribute the mixture evenly.
The pan should be non-stick, and the size of the pan does not matter. It is only important that the pancakes are not thick.
Fry for about 45-60 seconds on one side, turn the pancake, and fry for another 30 seconds.
Let them cool.
Assambling pancakes:
When the pancakes have cooled, you can now fill the pancakes by folding each pancake in half and making another fold so that you get a triangle.
Add a spoonful of vanilla cream and fold the pancake in the same way as you did the first one.
Decorate with white cream as desired, instead of white cream you can also use vanilla ice cream.
Drizzle with chocolate topping cream.
Buon appetito!

Keep the rest of the dough in the freezer covered with nylon foil.
Keep the decorated dessert in the refrigerator to 2 days.
