This one time there was this food truck that came to Santa Fe for just one day and they just had waffles and they were the most delicious thing. They were these crispy, sweet waffles of perfection topped with cookie butter, sliced strawberries and whipped cream. Our family went to check them out and we all loved them.
The biggest thing to come from this waffle truck experience was that my husband kept pestering me. For months he was saying things like: “You knew about this cookie butter stuff?! Why didn’t you tell me about it?”, or “You should make something like that”, or “Where did you say we could get cookie butter?”.
Yes, he might have become slightly obsessed with cookie butter.
But because we were moving and I was completely slightly stressed I didn’t have a chance to even think about this until we were all moved. And since now we were in the land of the humid, hot summer the first thought was ice cream. Plus we really love ice cream.
I know that it sounds weird to put waffles in ice cream, but these are no regular breakfast waffles. They’re dessert kind of waffles. And then you add the cookie butter and the strawberries and mix it all with ice cream!
We’ve got a Cuisinart Ice Cream Machine and we make ice cream a lot. And this waffle love ice cream is another one of our most favorites. We will for sure make this lots. Basically whenever we make and will inevitably have leftover Belgian waffles. To make sure they’re a bit more crispy for mixing into the ice cream, I let them stay in the waffle iron a bit longer than usual.
If you love ice cream, waffles, strawberries & whipped cream, then you MUST try this waffle love ice cream, perfect for any waffle lover!
