Servings: 8

  • 1 ¼ cups waffle mix (300 mL)
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder (30 g)
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (85 g)

Preparation

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine waffle mix, egg, oil, cocoa powder, and chocolate chips. Stir until mixture is smooth.
  2. In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine ingredients for caramel sauce and bring to a low boil, whisking constantly once mixture starts to boil. Continue to whisk until mixture darkens slightly and begins to thicken. Remove from heat and let cool for at least 30 minutes.

  4. When waffle is cooked to desired crispness, remove to a plate. Top with more pecans, a drizzle of caramel, a dollop of whipped cream, and a cherry on top.
