Flambé dessert
Description
The recipe won't take much time. When flambéing, it's important that nothing catches fire except the contents of the pan. This kind of action is best performed in front of guests. They will appreciate the visual effect, and then be delighted by the incredible, unmatched flavor. Serve chilled.
Instructions

Step 1
Heat the pan on a gas stove. If you have an electric stove, use that instead. We will need the burner later. Melt the sugar in a dry pan.

Step 2
We fold the ready-made pancakes in half into a triangle. Take tweezers or something similar and dip one side of each pancake into melted sugar. Place the pancake on a plate with the dry side down.

Step 4
Now we'll need a flame. Pour some cognac into the pan with the berries and ignite it. Be careful. Don't pour in too much cognac. If you're preparing multiple servings, it's better to divide the cooking process into several batches. Otherwise, you might get burned or accidentally set something on fire. Burn off the alcohol vapors for a couple of minutes.

Step 5
On each plate, place two caramelized pancakes. Add 50 grams of ice cream in a scoop next to them. Pour the berry sauce with whole berries over the top, making sure it's enough for four plates. You can garnish with mint leaves and amaze your guests!
