Ingredients

Belgian waffles
  • 150 g sugar

  • 1 tbsp vanilla sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3 eggs
  • 350 ml milk (3%)
  • 200 g melted butter
Toppings

Preparation

Belgian waffles

1. In a large bowl, combine sugar, wheat flour, vanilla sugar, baking powder, and salt.

2. Separate egg yolks and egg whites. Save the whites in a separate bowl.

3. Add egg yolks and milk to the dry mixture and whisk everything together.

4. Gradually pour in the melted butter while stirring the batter.

5. In another bowl, beat egg whites until fluffy, and carefully fold them into the mixture.

6. Bake the waffles in a waffle iron until they turn brown and golden.

Toppings

1. In a pan, melt sugar until it turns brown, then add pistachios.

2. Stir constantly and add butter. Pour the caramelised nuts onto a baking sheet, sprinkle with sea salt, and let cool. Once they are cooled, chop the caramelised pistachios roughly.

3. Cut figs into bite-sized pieces.

4. Serve the warm waffles with a big scoop of whipped cream cheese. Top with fresh figs and sprinkle with crunchy caramelised pistachios. Finish off by drizzling honey over the waffles for added sweetness.

Belgian waffles with fluff, crunch, and sweetness

Experience the surprising sensation of serving Belgian waffles with whipped cream cheese. The velvety texture and tangy flavour of the cream cheese are a magnificent match for the waffles, which are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The caramelised pistachios add a wonderful nutty flavour and crunch that pair nicely with the sweet and tender figs. A drizzle of honey ties everything together, ensuring an indulgent treat. Enjoy them with other delectable treats like savoury churros with Castello® pepper whipped cream cheese or seed crackers with Castello® whipped cream cheese and strawberries.

Vary with different toppings

Belgian waffles with creamy, slightly tangy whipped cream cheese taste great with almost any type of fruit. Try it with fresh berries, stone fruit, or indulgent caramelised banana. In a pinch, preserves and jams also work nicely and can even be combined with the whipped cream cheese. For crunch, add nuts like almonds, pecans, or walnuts, toasted coconut flakes, or granola. For a savoury twist, try serving them with crispy bacon for a salty touch to contrast the sweet and creamy flavours. Or increase this sweetness with maple syrup, melted chocolate, or rich caramel sauce. Vary our Belgian waffle recipe and craft personalised moments of indulgence.

Tips & Tricks

For perfectly crispy and evenly cooked waffles, always preheat your waffle iron thoroughly before pouring in the batter. A well-heated iron ensures a golden-brown finish and prevents sticking.
