I just used vit. d for the picture’s sake)
I have a standard 8″ round waffle iron and I got 4 full waffles (so 16 quarters) from this recipe. So if you’re cooking for a crowd, increase accordingly! Sometimes people assume they need a whole plate-sized waffle for every person, but remember these are sweet and filling, so 1 or 2 quarters may be fine for each person. For dessert with ice cream, one quarter should be enough.Edit: Tried it with the ice cream and buttermilk caramel syrup. Suspicions correct: Mind-numbingly delicious.

Description
These Double Chocolate Waffles crisp up after cooking, while maintaining a tantalizingly soft, chocolatey interior. The berry topping puts them over the top! Perfect for a holiday breakfast or any time you’re feeling like something extra special.

Notes
- You’ll need about 3 cups of berries and you can use any combo you like. I decided to use a combo of fresh and frozen. I used 1 cup of fresh strawberries and then 2 cups of a frozen mix of blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries (thawed in the fridge before use). It worked great. If you need to, you can definitely use all frozen as well.
- I don’t add any powdered sugar to my topping; I think the jam adds plenty and I prefer it on the tart side to balance the sweetness of the waffles. However my husband likes it sweeter, so go with what you like! You might want to try the sauce on the waffles first and then just sprinkle powdered sugar on top if you’d like it sweeter.
-
Instead of pouring batter, use a ladle and spoon it in, making sure to stir the batter each time. Otherwise the chocolate chips won’t be distributed.It’s a little harder to tell when chocolate waffles are done because you can’t go so much on color. Go by smell and touch and realize that they will crisp up after they come off the iron.
Thanks Sara! I may experiment and see how it goes!
aswensen- I've never tried it, but the thing that makes me doubtful is that the batter is much thinner than a pancake batter and I don't think it would hold its shape at all. I wish I had better news! You could always experiment…
Could you possibly make these into pancakes rather than waffles?
These turned out PERFECT! Thanks Sara.
I have never seen anything more delicious in my life!!
This looks amazing! I need to get a waffle iron!

jen- no, I don’t heat up the berry sauce. Since it’s mixed up ahead of time and sitting on the counter while I make the waffles, it’s at room temp by the time I serve it. I like that on a hot waffle with cold whipped cream, but you could certainly heat up the berries if you wanted to…
You don’t heat up the berry sauce, eh??
I am really looking forward to making these. I even bought a waffle iron for the occasion! Just wanted to let you know that I receive many compliments on your chicken fajitas and your tri-tip marinades! They are so tasty!!
Valentines Day is for splurging! That’s the whole point! lol.
Okay, I got a little peeved that you didn’t add the nutritional info so I calculated it myself. Now I am very sad that I won’t be having them any time soon!! Boohoo!!
These look delicious! I see Saturday breakfast coming my way. The only V-day food tradition we have is my mom would make a cute little “flower arrangement” out of those chocolate striped shortbread cookies and heart shaped gummies, way cute, and delicious
Nathaly,
Any any kind of chocolate will work. Milk, semi-sweet, dark, can’t go wrong!
I used semi-sweet because I prefer it to milk chocolate.
YUM. These look so good. Can I use semi-sweet chocolate chips? Diego can’t have milk chocolate.
Sara- Thanks for the insight. Your posts never bore, I love them.
Amy- great question. I was going to talk about this in my post but I saw how long my post was and didn’t want to bore people!
There are a couple of ingredients in this recipe that are key to the perfect texture. One is the cornstarch, and the other is the oil (as opposed to butter). Those things both create a batter that becomes crisp on the outside and soft and airy in the middle.
Using butter and 100% flour in this recipe would result in a softer/soggier waffle.
Make sense?
These look fabulous. I am curious about the cornstarch though. I have never heard of adding it to waffles. What does it do?
These looks soo good. Belgium Waffles are my all-time favorite breakfast food. I’ll definitely be trying these. They remind me of chocolate waffle cookies.
chocolate and berries! my two favorites combined…yum! a definitely must try 🙂
I can’t wait to try these!
These are great! I’m so lucky to live in the test kitchen!
These look sooo yummy! I am sure my kids will LOVE them as much as I will! Every year we do a “Red” dinner on Valentines night. I may have to have a fun food day all day this year! Thanks!
You’ve figured out our devious little plan Jodi,I’m glad it’s working! Muah ha ha ha ha!
Seriously, these treats are toooooo tempting! In Portugal they sell the yummiest Chocolate waffles so I’m excited to try these! Actually, I’ve been wondering why I’ve been crazing so many treats lately…perhaps it’s your fabulous posts with tempting pictures that are permeating my subconscious and fixating a desire to eat and eat and eat! 🙂
Mmmmmm, these look heavenly!
So this is what you were talking about yesterday! I made waffles this morning with frozen blueberries in them. I was feeling pretty good about myself till I clicked into your blog. These look fabulous! A must try. Thanks for the recipe.
I can’t wait till the weekend so I have time to make this! They look so yummy!
Yum! Wow, that takes breakfast to a whole new level. I will have to try these! (maybe when morning sickness wears off, so I can enjoy them to the fullest 🙂 lol). Delicious!
I was planning on doing something fun for Valentine’s breakfast- and I think you just met a need I didn’t even know I had! Those look soooo yummy! I’ll definitely be trying those on Saturday.
I want these SOOOOOO bad. Can we PLEASE have them when I come visit??
