A recipe for Prosecco Waffles! These light and airy waffles are topped with Prosecco-infused strawberries and shaved white chocolate.

Summer is quickly coming to a close, but we are enjoying the last few weeks we have of summer flavors and produce. I have joined with Riondo Prosecco to make brunch a bit more bubbly with these Prosecco Waffles!

The bubbles from the Prosecco paired with the yeast and whipped egg whites create an incredibly light and airy waffle with fruity undertones. 

Take the waffles a step further by topping them with Prosecco-soaked strawberries, a little grated white chocolate, and even edible flowers!

There is also enough Prosecco leftover in the bottle to enjoy alongside your waffles for a delicious and special summertime brunch at an affordable price point.

Riondo Prosecco

Riondo features Charmot Method DOC sparkling wines developed from over 14,800 acres of vineyards in Veneto, Italy. The name Prosecco actually refers to the village where the Glera grapes originated.

Want more inspiration on how to use Prosecco? Check out this collection of Riondo Prosecco Cocktails (I especially love the Mimosa Slushy).

Pouring Prosecco into two glasses.

For the Prosecco waffles, I used Riondo Prosecco Spago Nero. This wine is Frizzante (semi-sparkling) with an alcohol percentage of 10.5 and is made from 100 percent Glera grapes.

It has a delicate and crisp flavor with hints of Golden Delicious apple, pear, and Acacia blossom perfect for enjoying on its own on a summer day, using as the base for a bubbly cocktail, or even in more interesting ways like these Prosecco Waffles.

My bottle had a screw cap for easy access, but they are also available with the traditional black string (literal name for Spago Nero) cork closure.

A Few Tips

Prepare the Prosecco Strawberries before forming the batter. I soaked the strawberries in the Prosecco for about 3 hours, but they can rest for anywhere from 2-24 hours and store well in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

The amount of waffles created will depend on the type of waffle iron. I used a heart-shaped larger waffle maker which yielded 8-10 waffles.

The waffle batter needs to rest for 30 minutes to 1 hour. This will allow the yeast to activate and flavors to blend.

There isn’t a lot of sweetness in the waffles or strawberries, so serve them with a drizzle of honey or other syrup as desired.

I added a little vanilla sugar to the batter. This is optional, but really adds a wonderful light vanilla flavor. You can buy small packets of vanilla sugar in the European section of many larger supermarkets, but it is easy to make at home. Scrape out the seeds of one vanilla bean and mix well with 2 cups granulated sugar. Store in an airtight container with the scraped out vanilla beans. If not available, substitute with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.

Want to serve the waffles warm all at once? Preheat an oven to 250˚F (120˚C) and arrange the cooked waffles in a single layer on a baking sheet. Keep in the warm oven until all the batter is prepared.

Leftover Prosecco Waffles can be frozen in a single layer until solid, then transferred to a freezer-safe bag. Bake straight from the freezer on a parchment-lined baking sheet and in a 350˚F (180˚C) oven until heated through, about 10 minutes.

    That looks delicious. Does the prosecco lighten up the waffle?

    This sounds wonderful & I happen to have a bottle of Prosecco in my fridge!

    I am known for my waffles & this is the first recipe I have seen that beat the egg whites like I do only I stiffen them with some sugar. I, also, just fold them in but not completely as you do.

    My recipe actually came from WWII. My Grandfather was part of the Fighting Seabees & served in the Pacific as a cook. He brought the waffle recipe home for us. So we have been enjoying these waffles for years?

    Thanks for the new idea. Can’t wait to try them!

      Hi Pearl! You can replace it with Champagne or another bubbly drink to help add to the lightness of the batter.
