Prepare the Pancake Batter

- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined (don't overmix; some lumps are fine).
Cook the Pancakes
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2 minutes.
- Flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes until cooked through.
- Repeat with the remaining batter.
Make the Topping
- In a small bowl, whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
Assemble and Serve
- Stack the pancakes on a plate.
- Drizzle chocolate or caramel syrup over the stack.
- Spoon or pipe the whipped topping over the pancakes to resemble a frappuccino's whipped cream.
- Sprinkle chocolate shavings or crushed coffee beans for an extra touch.
