Mousse-Covered Pancakes

Bibliotheque's Valentine’s Chocolate Pancake Boasts Sweet and Tart Flavors

— February 28, 2017 — Lifestyle
To delight those with a sweet tooth on Valentine's Day this year, the Bibliotheque bookstore and cafe in Tokyo, Japan launched an ultra-decadent chocolate pancake confection.

Aptly named 'The Valentine’s Special Pancake,' this dessert featured a rich topping of chocolate mousse, whipped cream, berries and a sweet strawberry sauce that came in a small pot on the side. This mixture of ingredients was said to provide the best balance between sweet and tart, offering a completely new take on the ordinary breakfast pancake that can be enjoyed at virtually any time of the day as a light mid-day snack or a decadent evening dessert.

While one person could have easily ordered the indulgent menu item for themselves, the dessert pancake treat was the perfect size to split with a date at Bibliotheque.
