- 600ml whole milk

Method
To make the pancake batter:
- Sift flour into a large mixing bowl. Add the salt, vanilla extract, maple syrup, melted butter and the egg.
- Slowly pour in the milk and mix well until the batter is smooth.
- For best results, rest in the fridge overnight or at least 30 minutes before cooking.
To cook the pancakes:
- Heat a large, non-stick frying pan over a medium heat and add a little bit of oil.
- Tilt around the pan and then pour in a ladleful of pancake batter.
- Swirl and tilt the pan so that the batter spreads into a thin layer to form a crêpe.
- Cook for about 1–2 minutes and once bubbles start to form, flip, then cook on the other side for another minute or so until golden.
- Repeat until you have used the whole batter.
To make the chocolate filling:
- With a whisk, mix half of the whipped cream into the chocolate and maple syrup then gently fold the other half with a spatula.
Assembly:
- Slice edges of each crêpe to make them square, then place pancake on a clean kitchen towel.
- Pipe a line of chocolate filling on the edge of each crêpe.
- Place fruit along the chocolate filling.
- Carefully roll up pancakes to about 1-inch diameter.
- Place the sushi rolls in the fridge for 30 minutes or until chilled.
- Using a pastry brush, glaze the rolls with maple syrup and sprinkle with desiccated coconut.
- Trim edges of rolls and slice with a sharp knife into 5–6 pieces and serve.
