A summery meal is nothing without a yummy dessert. And this dessert is top shelf, A+ would eat again, type stuff. It's wonderful. It's fresh fruity, creamy, minty and chocolatey, need I say more?
I love waffles. I've loved them ever since I was a kid. I've been mega in love with them ever since I went to Iceland and learned to eat them as a dessert. Since I don't have access to a super rad heart shaped shallow Scandinavian style waffle iron to be able to recreate the fantastic Icelandic dessert waffles with jam and whipped cream, I decided I needed to come up with something even better. And that's exactly what I did.
Tutti-Fruity Chicky-Chocolatey Waffles
1/2 pint heavy cream
3/4 bar of white chocolate
2 Tbsp vanilla extract
3 Tbsp butter
1/2 cup hot fudge sauce
several sprigs of fresh mint
1 tub of strawberries
frozen waffles
Cut your strawberries into pretty little slices. Egg slicers make super pretty, evenly sliced strawberries, but if you don't have one you can rock it old skool and do it with a knife.
Cook waffles according to package directions. Make whipped cream, by placing 3/4 cup heavy cream and 1 Tbsp. vanilla extract in a mixer and beating until it looks like whipped cream.
Place white chocolate, remaining vanilla extract, butter and 1/4 cup of the heavy cream in a double boiler. If you're like me and don't actually have a double boiler, fear not! You can redneck rig one by stacking two similarly sized pots on top of each other.
Fill the bottom part with about an inch of water. Keep it just under a boil. Stir pretty much constantly until everything melts together and is creamy and wonderful.
Ladle some of the white chocolate sauce over the waffle. Top with strawberries and sprigs of mint. Drizzle some more white chocolate sauce over. Drizzle hot fudge sauce over that. Top with a dollop of whipped cream and another sprig of mint. Bea-utiful!
