Ingredients

Kahlúa Mascarpone Cream:

  • 4 ounces mascarpone cheese (at room temperature)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • tablespoons sugar
  • tablespoons coffee liqueur (Kahlúa)

Waffles:

  • 200 grams all-purpose flour (1½ cups )
  • 100 grams sugar (6 tablespoons)
  • 43 grams Dutch-process cocoa powder (½ cup)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 3 large eggs (beaten)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and cooled slightly)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups buttermilk (at room temperature)
  • ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Cooking spray
  • Fresh berries 

Instructions

  • In an electric mixer fitter with a whisk attachment, add mascarpone cheese and whisk until smooth. Add heavy cream, sugar and coffee liqueur. Whisk until stiff peaks form. Transfer to a medium bowl, cover with plastic wrap and cool in the fridge.
  • Preheat oven to 200˚F (95˚C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt and baking soda.
  • In a large bowl, beat eggs, melted butter and vanilla together. Whisk in buttermilk. Pour the mixture into the flour. Whisk until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips. Set aside to rest for 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the waffle iron according to manufacturer’s directions.
  • Depends on your waffle iron, lightly coat the iron with cooking spray. Scoop batter onto the center of the iron and cook until waffle is crispy. Transfer to oven to keep warm until all waffles are ready. Serve immediately with mascarpone cream and fresh berries.

Notes

  1. Make sure to bring the mascarpone cheese and buttermilk to room temperature.
  2. This waffle batter doesn't expand much when cooking. You can fill the waffle iron pretty much all the way to the top.
  3. This recipe makes 5 thick waffles or 7 regular size waffles. 1 thick waffle is enough for 1 person.
  4. Leftover waffles can be freeze. Reheat in 300˚F (150˚C) oven for about 10 minutes.
  5. Mascarpone cream is best to use within 1 day.
