Yield: 4 large Belgian waffles - Serves 8
Serving Size: One half waffle
Black Forest Waffle Brownies
Ingredients
4 ounces Dove Dark Chocolate Promises, about 14 pieces
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 large eggs
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling
Directions
Preheat waffle maker.
Chop each Dove Chocolate Promise in to four pieces and place in a microwave-safe bowl with butter. Microwave just until chocolate is melted and smooth, stirring at least every 30 seconds. Set aside to cool, stirring occasionally.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
In a stand mixer or with electric beaters, beat eggs and sugar on medium speed for 2 minutes. While the mixer is running, slowly add the melted chocolate and beat to combine. Add vanilla and milk.
With the mixer on low speed, gradually add flour mixture and mix just until combined.
Spread the batter on the waffle iron and bake waffles as recommend in your waffle maker until outside is starting to crisp. (I sprayed my waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray before cooking each waffle.)
To serve: Whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar until it forms soft peaks. Top each waffle with a dollop of pie filling and whipped cream.
