This board is such a fun and easy way to serve a crowd effortlessly. No last-minute cooking (who wants to turn on the oven in the summer, anyway?). No fussy prep.

What’s a Liege-Style Waffle?

If you’re not familiar with liege-style waffles, you’re in for a treat! Made with pearl sugar folded into the dough, these waffles develop irresistible caramelized sugar pockets as they cook, creating a crisp, sweet, slightly sticky exterior with a soft, rich, pastry-like center. Traditionally enjoyed warm as Belgian street food, they’re delicious all on their own—but dressed up with sweet toppings, they’re simply irresistible.

Y’all know I’m a fan of the homemade waffle. But in this case, the store-bought ones are so easy and so delicious, there’s no reason to go to so much work. Everything about this board is designed for ease and deliciousness! Simple homemade touches like fresh whipped cream can be a lovely touch, too!

Quick Tips!

  • Frozen Liege-style waffles make the best shortcut! You’ll find several great options in the freezer section at many grocery stores. Simply warm them according to the package directions before adding them to the board so they’re soft on the inside with their signature caramelized exterior. They’re delicious all on their own, but even better loaded up with your favorite toppings!
  • Liege-style waffles are different from classic Belgian waffles. Made with pearl sugar folded into the dough, Liege waffles have irresistible caramelized sugar pockets that make them sweeter, richer, and perfect for dessert.
  • Let everyone build their own! This board is designed for guests to customize their waffles with their favorite toppings, making it a fun, interactive dessert for parties, holidays, birthdays, or family nights.
  • Mix and match your toppings! Try classic combinations like strawberries and whipped cream, bananas with Nutella, raspberries with cookie butter, or chocolate topped with hazelnuts and Biscoff cookie crumbles. There’s no wrong way to build the perfect waffle!

How to Make a Belgian Waffle Dessert Board

  1. Place the whipped cream, Nutella, and cookie butter in small bowls around the board, spacing them evenly to create the foundation of your layout.
  2. Add the hazelnuts and Biscoff cookie crumbles to mini bowls and place them between the other bowls on the board.
  3. Arrange the warmed Liege-style waffles in the center of the board, overlapping and layering them slightly to create height and make them the focal point.
  4. Fill in the remaining spaces with the strawberries, followed by the blueberries, Belgian chocolate pieces, raspberries, and banana slices.
  5. Finish by tucking fresh mint sprigs throughout the board for pops of color and freshness.
  6. Serve with a mini shaker of powdered sugar on the side so everyone can dust their waffle creations.
