Chocolate Waffles with Speculoos Cream
Posted by Cupcake Kelly on Dec 19, 2012 in Other Desserts | 2 commentsI made these chocolate waffles when I was going through my speculoos phase. I’m not really over it yet. I’ve been using it instead of peanut butter in a lot of recipes lately. It’s just so good! I like to eat it with a spoon straight from the jar. The smooth, spicy creaminess of the speculoos goes very well with the chocolate waffles.
These were the first sticks I made with my waffle maker and they didn’t quite crisp up. I should have left them in a bit longer. Popped in the toaster the next morning they still tasted good.
Ingredients
Speculoos Cream
2/3 cup Speculoos spread
1/4 cup whole milk
3 tbs sugar
1 cup whipping cream
Waffle Batter
1/2 cup chocolate chips
4 tbs unsalted butter
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups whole milk
2 tsp vanilla
1 3/4 cup plain flour
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 tbs baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Place the chocolate chips and butter in a double boiler and stir until melted. Let cool for a few minutes.
- Make the cream. In a small saucepan cook the speculoos, milk and sugar until smooth, about 1-2 minutes. Set aside.
- In a large bowl whip the cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the cooled speculoos mixture. Refrigerate until the waffles are ready.
- Make the waffle batter. In a medium bowl whisk the eggs, milk and vanilla and then stir into the chocolate mixture.
- In a large bowl whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the chocolate mixture. Whisk until smooth.
- Pour into a preheated waffle maker and cook until crisp. Serve with the cold speculoos cream.
Notes
Speculoos spread can be replaced with creamy peanut butter.
Adapted from Waffles. Lakeland also provided me with a waffle maker.
