Ingredients
- 2 cups waffle mix
- 1 ½ cups water (or as directed on waffle mix package)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- ¼ cup maple syrup (or chocolate sauce for drizzling)
- Cooking spray or oil for the waffle iron
How to Make Stacked Waffle Cake with Cream Filling
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the waffle mix and water. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.
- Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or oil. Pour enough batter into the iron to cover the surface, and cook until golden brown. Repeat until you have three thick waffles.
- While the waffles are cooking, prepare the cream filling. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
- Once the waffles are cooked, layer them on a serving plate. Spread a generous layer of the cream filling between each waffle.
- Top the stacked waffles with additional whipped cream and drizzle with maple syrup or chocolate sauce before serving.
Tips for the Best Results
- Ensure your waffle iron is properly preheated for the crispiest waffles.
- Use room temperature cream cheese for a smoother filling.
- Don’t skip whipping the cream; it adds lightness to the filling.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a dash of cinnamon to the cream filling.
Easy Variations
- Swap out the cream cheese for mascarpone for a richer flavor.
- Add fresh fruit like strawberries or blueberries between the layers for added freshness.
- Incorporate chocolate chips into the waffle batter for a sweeter treat.
- Try flavored extracts like almond or coconut for a unique twist.
What to Serve With It
- Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing contrast.
- A side of crispy bacon for a savory touch.
- Hot chocolate or coffee to complement the sweetness.
- Ice cream for an indulgent dessert option.
