Ingredients
Scale
Waffles
- 16 mini frozen waffles
Whipped Cream Filling
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Fruit & Topping
- 1 cup mixed fresh berries (sliced strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions
- Toast the Waffles: Toast the mini frozen waffles according to package instructions until they are golden brown and crisp. This step ensures the waffles have a crunchy texture that contrasts beautifully with the creamy filling.
- Whip the Cream: While the waffles toast, pour the heavy whipping cream into a mixing bowl. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then whip the mixture using a hand mixer or whisk until soft peaks form, indicating the cream is fluffy and ready.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Let the toasted waffles cool slightly, then spread or pipe the whipped cream onto 8 of the waffles evenly. Top the cream with a generous layer of fresh mixed berries, then place the remaining 8 waffles on top, pressing gently to form sandwiches.
- Serve: Serve the mini waffle sandwiches immediately for the best texture and flavor. Optionally, drizzle with honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness and a glossy finish.
Notes
- You can swap in sweetened mascarpone cheese or cream cheese for the whipped cream for a richer, tangier flavor.
- For a fun twist, add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the whipped cream to impart a citrusy brightness.
- Sprinkle the berries lightly with cinnamon sugar before assembling for a warm, spiced note.
