Featured Ingredients
Simple Waffles
- Flour: we used all-purpose flour for this recipe, but are confident that white whole wheat would work too.
- Sugar: classic white sugar sweetens these waffles up just a bit.
- Milk: any kind of milk is fine.
- Eggs: eggs add make these fluffy and help bind the batter together.
- Butter: butter keeps these nice and moist.
Cream Cheese Filling
- Cream cheese: we recommend using full-fat cream cheese.
- Powdered sugar: powdered sugar makes it sweet and creamy.
Berry Sauce
- Raspberries & blueberries: we used fresh raspberries and blueberries, but frozen works too. You can also sub in strawberries if you wish.
- Corn starch: corn starch is what helps thicken the sauce.
How to Make Stuffed Waffles
- Make waffle batter: combine all ingredients for the waffles in a large bowl. Set aside.
- Make the cream cheese filling: in a small bowl, mix together the cream cheese and powdered sugar. Set aside.
- Make the compote: add berries to a small pot and heat over medium/high. Use a spoon to smash up the berries to help release some of the juices. Cook for 4-5 minutes. Once the berries have turned into a sauce, whisk in the cornstarch and cook for an additional 2 minutes until the mixture is thickened. Set aside.
- Cook waffles: Pur in ¼ cup of the waffle batter into the waffle iron. Then, squeeze 1-2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture over the top of the batter in a circle. Pour another ¼ cup of the waffle batter on top of the cream cheese and close the waffle iron. Cook for about 4-5 minutes.
- Serve: serve the waffles with the berry topping and maple syrup.
