Chocolate Cherry Waffle Sandwich

My creation, Chocolate Cherry Waffle Sandwich, is perfect for brunch, a special breakfast or dessert. It is an elegant comfort food enjoyed occasionally. The idea came to me when I ate a slice of European Black Forest cake.

Supplies

You need:

Waffle maker

Kitchen Aid machine

Whisk

Mixing bowls

Cup and spoon measure

Grater

Vegetable oil spray

Spoon, wooden spoon

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cup flour

3 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup sugar

3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

1 cup milk

2 eggs

4 tablespoons butter

1 can dark sweet cherries, 15 oz.

1 cup heavy whipping cream

Large piece of dark chocolate

Dry Ingredients Mixture

In a bowl combine flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and cacao. Whisk together.

Wet Ingredients Mixture

Melt butter in microwave. Whisk together eggs, milk and butter.

Combine Dry and Wet

Pour egg mixture into flour mixture. Stir until just combined.

Baking Waffles

Bake waffles according to your waffle maker’s instructions.

Assemble and Plate

Whip cream in an ice cold bowl. (Freeze bowl and whisk a few minutes in a freezer. This will help to whip cream fast.)

Whip in sugar to your liking. I use 1-2 tablespoons.

Grate chocolate.

To assemble the waffle sandwich, place 1 waffle on plate. Top with whipped cream and cherries. Add another waffle and a spoonful of whipped cream, cherry and grated chocolate.

Enjoy!
