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

Step 1: Dry Ingredients Mixture

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

Step 2: Wet Ingredients Mixture

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

Step 3: Combine Dry and Wet

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

Step 4: Baking Waffles

Bake waffles according to your waffle maker’s instructions.

Step 5: 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!
