Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ¼ cups milk
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups chocolate ice cream
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (for drizzle)
How to Make Waffle Ice Cream Sandwich
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, combine the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Lightly grease the waffle iron with non-stick spray. Pour enough batter onto the hot waffle iron to cover the surface. Close the lid and cook until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, making about 4-6 waffles, depending on your waffle iron size.
- Once the waffles are cooked, allow them to cool slightly. Take one waffle and scoop a generous portion of chocolate ice cream onto it. Top with another waffle to create a sandwich.
- For the vanilla drizzle, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Drizzle the whipped cream over each waffle ice cream sandwich before serving.
Tips for the Best Results
