Easy Homemade Strawberry Waffles

Strawberry and White Chocolate Chip Waffles with Strawberry Cream Cheese Topping 2 cups complete pancake/waffle mix 1 1⁄2 cup milk 1 cup white chocolate chips 4-5 large strawberries; stems removed, diced into 1⁄4 inch pieces 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (optional) 1 tablespoon sugar (optional) Preheat waffle iron to desired setting depending on how crispy or not crispy you prefer your waffles. Combine pancake/waffle mix and milk inside mixing bowl; mix thoroughly. At this point you can add the optional sugar and/or vanilla extract. There will be some lumps remaining, but make sure the large lumps have been broken down. Once mixed add the white chocolate chips and strawberries to the pancake/waffle mix. When the iron has come to the desired temperature add the mix to the iron using a ladle or a large deep spoon. The key is to evenly disperse the ingredients throughout the entire waffle so be mindful when pouring the mix onto the iron; you don’t want all of the chips and strawberry pieces clustered to the center of the waffle. Cook the waffle according to the iron’s directions. Remove waffle from iron, cut waffle into 4 quartered pieces, top with strawberry whipped topping, and serve immediately. Strawberry Cream Cheese Topping 1 cup heavy whipping cream 4 oz plain cream cheese 4 large strawberries; stems removed; halved 3 tablespoons sugar Pour whipping cream into a large mixing bowl and using a hand mixer with a whisk attachment whisk the heavy cream until the cream tightens and forms stiff peaks. Depending on how fast you mixer is it should take 3 to 4 minutes to start seeing the cream tightening. Add the cream cheese, the halved strawberries, and the sugar to a food processor. Blend ingredients until evenly mixed and there are no large visible chunks of strawberry remaining. Take strawberry/cream cheese mixture and fold gently into the whipped cream. ***************************************************************** Social Media Instagram @chef.t1 Facebook @cookingwithcheft Twitter @cookingwithcheftc ***************************************************************** Intro Song Life Is by Cosimo Fogg (201) https://soundcloud.com/cosimo-fogg Creative Commons � Attribution 3.0 Unported� CC BY 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/b...
