Chocolate Waffles
The lightest and fluffiest chocolate waffles ever. Sprinkled with icing sugar and an added topping of fresh strawberries and whipped cream. This is a beautiful breakfast fit for a Queen!
Although you might think the ideal time to have this is during Valentines Day, I think any time is a good time. I’ve been wanting to make these for a while now. Now that I have, I can’t stop eating it. I had it for breakfast and again as an afternoon snack.
The waffle itself is not sweet or too chocolatey. The sweetness comes from the strawberries and whipped cream.
To enhance the chocolate flavour, I added one teaspoon of coffee granules to the batter. This is optional though.
