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 & Toppings
- 1 cup mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, halved if large)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional for drizzle)
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Toast Waffles: Toast the mini frozen waffles according to the package instructions until they turn golden brown and crisp. Once toasted, set them aside to cool slightly to avoid melting the whipped cream later.
- Prepare Whipped Cream: In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. This creates a light and fluffy whipped cream perfect for sandwich filling.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Spoon or pipe a generous dollop of the whipped cream onto 8 of the toasted waffles. Top the cream with a few pieces of fresh mixed berries on each. Then place the remaining waffles on top to form sandwich halves. Press down lightly to secure the layers together.
- Add Final Touches: If desired, drizzle each sandwich with honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness. Optionally, dust the sandwiches with powdered sugar before serving for a pretty presentation. Serve immediately to enjoy the waffles crispiness and freshness of the berries.
Notes
- For extra flavor, spread a thin layer of jam or lemon curd under the whipped cream before adding berries.
- These sandwiches are best assembled just before serving to maintain waffle crispness.
- You can substitute heavy whipping cream with coconut cream to make it dairy-free, but texture may vary.
- Use fresh seasonal berries for the best flavor and color contrast.
