Instructions

  • We're first going to make the strawberry compote. Hull and slice about 6 large strawberries, and mash them with a fork.
    6 large strawberries (plus extra for garnish), hulled, chopped, and mashed with a fork
  • Place the mashed strawberries and 1 tablespoon of sugar into a small saucepan and warm up over low-medium heat. Simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  • Next, start making the waffles of your choice, whether that means toasting or cooking.
    2 waffles
  • While the strawberries are simmering and the waffles are cooking, let's make the whipped cream. This can be done by hand with a whisk, but a stand mixer or handheld electric mixer makes it much easier.
  • Mix together the heavy cream, softened cream cheese, 1 tablespoon sugar, and vanilla until firm peaks.
    Note: This whipped cream won't really reach stiff peaks as much as a regular whipped cream does, due to the addition of cream cheese.
    2 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided, ⅓ cup heavy cream, 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened to room temperature, ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Place Nutella in a small bowl and microwave for 30 seconds. Then, stir with a spoon to make it soft and spreadable.
    1 tablespoon Nutella
  • Once the waffles are ready, top them first with Nutella, then layer on the strawberry compote and whipped cream. Enjoy!
