Ingredients

Strawberries

  • 1 1/2 cups strawberries cleaned, hulled and sliced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar depending on how sweet the berries are
  • 2 tbsp rosé wine can be replaced with prosecco or any sparkling wine, or omitted if desired
  • 1 1/2 tbsp chopped fresh mint

Whipped Cream

  • 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream 35-40%
  • 2 tbsp icing sugar

Cinnamon Chaffles

  • 4 eggs divided
  • 1/4 cup almond meal divided
  • 2 cups grated mozzarella cheese divided
  • 4 tbsp granulated sugar divided
  • 1 tsp cinnamon divided

Instructions

Whipped Cream

  1. Pour the cream into the bowl of a mixer. Start on lower speed and whip for about a minute. Increase the speed and add the icing sugar slowly. Scrape the sides of the bowl to get all the sugar into the cream. Beat on high speed until firm and stiff peaks are achieved. You can store this in the fridge till needed.

Strawberries

  1. Heat the waffle maker.
  2. Place the berries into a bowl. Add the sugar and rosé and let macerate for 15 minutes. Add the mint towards the end.

  3. While the berries are macerating, you can make the chaffles.

Chaffles

  1. The batter will make four full waffles. However, due to the nature of this batter in getting the ingredients correctly proportioned, it's best to make the batter, one chaffle at a time.

  2. In a small bowl whisk one egg well.

  3. Add the 1 Tbsp almond meal and 1/2 cup of the mozzarella and combine well, breaking down any longer strands of the cheese as you go. Add the 1 tbsp sugar and 1/4 tsp cinnamon and combine well.

  4. Pour the mixture into the heated waffle iron. I like to have the iron on the higher setting to create a crunchier exterior.

  5. While the waffle is cooking, prepare the batter for the next one. Repeat until all the waffles are prepared.

  6. Place each waffle onto a plate. Depending on the shape of waffle, you may be able to divide them into quarters etc. Cover a portion with whipped cream. Then spoon the berries on top. Layer another part of the waffle on top, and repeat.
