Chocolate-Dipped Waffles Recipe

Ingredients

• 250g (2 cups) all-purpose flour
• 50g (1/4 cup) granulated sugar
• 15g (1 tbsp) baking powder
• 5g (1 tsp) salt
• 2 large eggs
• 480ml (2 cups) milk
• 120g (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, melted
• 5ml (1 tsp) vanilla extract
• 200g (7 oz) dark chocolate, finely chopped
• 15ml (1 tbsp) vegetable oil
• Assorted toppings: crushed nuts, sprinkles, sea salt flakes (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Waffle Batter

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring continuously until you achieve a smooth batter. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.

Step 2: Cook the Waffles

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly grease it with cooking spray or a brush of butter. Pour the batter into the waffle iron, ensuring even coverage. Close the lid and cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the waffles are golden brown and crisp. Transfer cooked waffles to a cooling rack placed over a baking sheet.

Step 3: Melt the Chocolate

Place the finely chopped dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Alternatively, use a double boiler to melt the chocolate over simmering water. Stir vegetable oil into the melted chocolate to achieve a glossy finish.

Step 4: Dip and Decorate Waffles

Dip half of each waffle into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the chocolate-dipped waffles back on the cooling rack. If desired, sprinkle toppings such as crushed nuts, sprinkles, or sea salt flakes over the chocolate before it sets. Allow the chocolate to harden, which may take about 15-20 minutes at room temperature or 5 minutes in the refrigerator.

Serving

Serve the chocolate-dipped waffles immediately. They make an impressive presentation when arranged on a platter for brunch or as a dessert. For an extra touch of indulgence, accompany with fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Conclusion

Now that you’ve experienced the joy of creating chocolate-dipped waffles, take a moment to savor the delightful contrasts of each bite. The marriage of crisp waffles and smooth chocolate, accented by your choice of toppings, makes for a memorable dish. Whether it’s a weekday breakfast or a celebratory dessert, this recipe offers versatility and satisfaction. Keep experimenting, both with flavors and presentation, and enjoy every culinary adventure it brings. Bon appétit!
