• For the chocolate sauce: Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepot over medium-low heat until simmering, 4 to 5 minutes.

• Next, make the pancake batter. In a mixing bowl, add the self-rising and all-purpose flours, cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt and mix thoroughly. In a separate bowl, add the milk, crème fraiche, heavy cream, vanilla and eggs, then whisk together until mixed thoroughly. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk to combine. It's ok if there are some small clumps.
• Melt a little butter to season the griddle. Scoop out the batter onto the griddle with a 1/2-cup scoop, using the scoop to flatten the mixture to a pancake shape; repeat to make additional pancakes. Sprinkle some chocolate chips onto the pancakes. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface of the pancakes and the bottoms are golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes, then flip and continue cooking on the other side until the pancakes are cooked all the way through, 1 to 2 more minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter and chocolate chips.
• To finish, stack 3 hot cocoa pancakes onto a plate, drizzle the chocolate sauce over them, add a large spoonful of marshmallow cream and top with either chocolate curls or more chocolate chips. Enjoy!

• For the pancakes: Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Whisk together the flour, hot chocolate mix, baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Whisk together the milk, butter, eggs and vanilla in a medium bowl. Pour the milk-egg mixture into the flour mixture, and gently fold just to combine (it's OK if there are some lumps).
• Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon butter; when it melts and the foam subsides, pour 1/4-cupfuls of batter onto the skillet, evenly spaced. Cook until the surface of the pancakes begins to bubble and the bottoms have darkened by a few shades, about 4 minutes. Flip the pancakes, and continue to cook until the bottoms have darkened by a few shades and the pancakes are springy when touched in the center, about 3 minutes. Repeat with the remaining butter and batter. (Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven.) Serve with the hot chocolate syrup and whipped cream.
