Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup milk
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup fresh raspberries
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (optional, for sweetening cream)

How to Make Chocolate Waffles with Raspberries

1. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
5. Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or a little melted butter.
6. Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the preheated waffle iron (about 1/2 cup, but this may vary by your waffle iron). Close the lid and cook until the waffles are crisp and cooked through, usually about 4-5 minutes.
7. Carefully remove the waffles and keep them warm in a low oven while you repeat with the remaining batter.
8. In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. If desired, add powdered sugar to sweeten.
9. To serve, stack the warm chocolate waffles on a plate, top with a generous dollop of whipped cream, and scatter fresh raspberries over the top.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your waffle iron is fully preheated for crispy edges.
• For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of espresso powder to the dry ingredients to enhance the chocolate taste.
• Don’t overmix the batter; it should be slightly lumpy for the best texture.
• If you prefer a thicker waffle, you can reduce the milk slightly.

Easy Variations

• Swap out raspberries for strawberries or blueberries for a different berry flavor.
• Add chocolate chips to the batter for extra chocolatey goodness.
• Drizzle with chocolate sauce or caramel for an even more indulgent treat.
• Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a dessert-like experience.

What to Serve With It

• A side of crispy bacon for a savory contrast.
• Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing touch.
• Maple syrup or chocolate syrup for drizzling.
• A hot cup of coffee or a mimosa to elevate your brunch experience.
