Strawberry Cheesecake Waffles

Strawberry Cheesecake meets waffles. Need I say more???

This idea has been running through my head for a while, and I finally made them….much to my family’s delight! You could easily use ready-made strawberry glaze from the store, but this glaze is super easy to make. If you like it sweeter….add more sugar. Like it less sweet? add less sugar. Same goes for the cheesecake topping.

First, make the glaze by heating 3/4 c sugar, water and cornstarch to a boil in a medium saucepan. Turn down heat and simmer until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in strawberry gelatin until completely dissolved. Set aside to cool while you make the cheesecake topping and waffles.

Beat cream cheese for 1 minute with an electric mixer or until it is smooth in consistency. It helps if the cream cheese is softened first, but if it’s not….don’t let that hold you back. 🙂 Add sugar and whipped topping/whipped cream and beat until well blended. Set aside or refrigerate until ready to use.

Then make the waffles. Separate eggs, putting egg whites in a small mixing bowl and egg yolks in a large mixing bowl. Beat egg whites in a small mixing bowl until soft peaks appear. Set aside. Beat egg yolks, butter (or oil) and milk until frothy. Beat in dry ingredients and vanilla until well blended. Gently fold in egg whites with rubber spatula or wooden spoon. Pour batter using a measuring cup onto center of hot greased waffle iron. Bake until steaming stops, about 5 min. Remove waffle carefully. Repeat with the rest of the batter.

While the waffles are baking, cut your strawberries in thin slices.

To assemble, top each waffle with cheesecake topping, strawberries and strawberry glaze.
