February is here!!! Love is in the air and chocolate is everywhere!
I love chocolate covered strawberries and the thought of waiting until dessert on Valentine’s Day to eat them is just unbearable, so I came up with a breakfast spin off my favorite February treat to make for my loves on Valentine’s Day morning! These sweet & special Chocolate Covered Strawberry Waffles are the perfect way to start a love-filled day!
Crispy strawberry waffles covered in chocolate whipped cream and drizzled with chocolate syrup will make just about anyone weak in the knees. Such a fabulous way to show your sweethearts how much you love them!
Whether it’s breakfast in bed for two or the whole family around the kitchen table, these waffles are sure to be loved by whomever you make them for! In fact, I have a feeling they’ll become a breakfast favorite that’ll be requested of you again and again!
Thankfully, they’re super easy to make so let me show you how!
Start by making the waffle batter…
Ladle the batter into a preheated waffle iron and cook them until of desired crispness…
While the waffles are cooking, prepared the chocolate whipped cream by simply beating the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form and then adding the chocolate syrup until well combined. Pretty sweet stuff to make these waffles extra special…
That’s all there is to it! Now you’re ready to serve them to somebody special…
Just scoop some chocolate whipped cream onto the crispy strawberry waffles and drizzle with a little chocolate syrup, if your heart so desires…
Enjoy!
