Dark Chocolate Waffles

Recipe for Dark Chocolate Waffles! Pair with fresh berries and whipped cream for a decadent Valentine’s Day breakfast or brunch.

These Dark Chocolate Waffles are definitely on the indulgent side with a more cake or brownie-like consistency. Pair simply with fresh berries and whipped cream or even some chocolate sauce, strawberry preserves, cacao nibs, or chocolate sprinkles.

When mixing, I melted the bittersweet/dark chocolate to easily spread it throughout the batter. It can also be finely chopped to create delicious little pockets of dark chocolate throughout the waffles.

If you want to serve all the waffles warm at once, preheat an oven to 250 degrees F and arrange the cooked waffles in a single layer on a baking sheet. Keep in the warm oven until all the batter is prepared.

For a fun dessert, allow the waffles to cool and form them into ice cream sandwiches. They are especially delicious with strawberry ice cream and chocolate sprinkles. I learned the trick from Beach House Baking to beat the ice cream in a stand mixture to create a soft-serve consistency perfect for spreading over the waffles. After assembly, I placed the sandwiches back in the freezer until solid. For smaller servings, they can easily be sliced into wedges after freezing.
