Using a spatula, gently fold the beaten egg whites into the mixture with upward movements.
Melt 1/2 teaspoon of butter over medium heat in a non-stick pan.
For each pancake, pour a ladle of batter into the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes or until bubbles on the surface start to color.
Flip the pancake with a spatula and cook for another minute. Place the pancake on a flat plate and cover with a cotton cloth to keep it warm. Repeat the process until all the batter is used.
Chop the white chocolate, transfer it to a bowl and melt it in the microwave with 50 ml of cream.
If you don’t have a microwave, you can melt it in a double boiler.
In a bowl or stand mixer, whip the mascarpone with the powdered sugar or powdered erythritol. Once it’s well whipped, gradually incorporate the white chocolate into the mascarpone, keeping the mixer running
