Double Chocolate Chip Waffles with Chocolate Cream is slightly crispy on the outside with a tender inside. A double dose of chocolate makes them rich without being over sweet.
We’re winding down another school year. I have mixed feelings about school being out. One, when will I get my nap during the day if not in the carpool line? But, then no homework totally makes up for no nap. Second, or is it third, it’s seriously difficult to blog when they’re fighting home all day, but then I really, really enjoy being with them.
As I was sitting in carpool line yesterday, besides napping, I do try to keep myself organized and plan during that time, I realized I will have sat in carpool line at this school for 5 years by the time both boys are finished! Crazy!
The boys have standardized tests for the last couple of weeks. The teachers always send a note home saying, “Make sure your child gets plenty of sleep and eats a good breakfast.” Getting to bed is a chore, but I can handle the breakfast part.
Double Chocolate Chip Waffles with Chocolate Cream
I amped up the chocolate in these waffles by adding cocoa and chocolate chips. Even with all the chocolate, this waffle is not overly sweet. They have a tender inside while being crispy on the outside.
I used 2 tablespoons of cornstarch in the batter, this helps the waffles crisp on the outside.
Served simply with fresh strawberries and chocolate whipped cream, these waffles were a hit. It’s practically like eating chocolate cake for breakfast, but making it in waffle form somehow makes it alright.
Try them also with Strawberry Sauce, Raspberry Sauce or Caramel Sauce!
One last thing, make these, your family will thank you!
Double Chocolate Chip Waffles with Chocolate Cream
Ingredients
Waffles
- 1 and ½ cup all purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- ½ cup cocoa
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 16 ounces buttermilk room temperature
- 4 ounces chocolate chips or about 1/2 cup
Chocolate Cream
- 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 8 ounces whipped cream I did the already made kind!
Instructions
- Mix your dry ingredients - flour, sugar, cornstarch, cocoa, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Whisk to combine.
- Pour your wet ingredients into your dry ingredients and stir to combine. Don't over-mix. Batter may be lumpy but that okay. Stir in chocolate chips.
- Heat waffle iron and allow batter to rest 5 minutes.
- Cook waffles according to directions on your waffle maker. For thick Belgian style waffles I cooked these waffles approximately 4 minutes 30 seconds to 5 minutes.
- When cooke through and crispy, remove to a wire rack and keep warm in a 200 degree oven until all waffles are ready.
For the Chocolate Whipped Cream:
- Melt chocolate chips in the microwave, stir until smooth, allow to cool slightly. Stir chocolate into whipped cream until well incorporated. You can do this beforehand and refrigerate until waffles are ready.
Notes
- Allow waffle batter to rest for 5 minutes after mixing before cooking.
- I used dark chocolate mini chips in the waffle batter.
- I used semi-sweet regular-sized chocolate chips in the whipped cream.

I am going to be THE most popular grandmother in the Universe. Thank you! Albeit I might just skip the waffles and eat just the chocolate cream. No, I change my mind. I want a waffle too.
Maggie says
Those look absolutely delicious and I’d add more chocolate cream! For the strawberry toppings, I’d like to use sugar to marinate them in fridge for a well. Not so healthy, but taste great. 🙂
Laura @ Raise Your Garden says
I just love the chocolate cream. I’ll take waffles anyway over pancakes or French toast.
And I’m so sorry, I’m one of those teachers who sends the notes home to parents about eating healthy and getting a good nights sleep before the test……the tests stress out us teachers just as much as the kids!!! hehe.

I am sending my 13 year old Blake over now for some of these. Although, after one bite, he will likely ask you to adopt him. Love these and my boys would too!
