Hey, over here, IHOP and waffle house...... I am taking applications for your next amazing breakfast dessert. Introducing waffles with raspberries and cream. Golden yellow cake layers stacked in between fresh raspberry jam and sweet whipped cream cheese and topped with raspberries.
Excuse me while I wipe the drool off my chin! Nonetheless, this is not hard to make and your kids will thank you, but your hips won't!
Even though this breakfast dessert looks very intimidating, just know it takes little to no time at all! Grab a reliable Belgian waffle maker, spatula and your ingredients and this all can be made within 15-20 minutes.
Ingredients
- Yellow cake mix
- Raspberries
- Granulated sugar
- Cream cheese
- Heavy cream
Step by step instructions
- Start with the waffles: Preheat the waffle maker. Spray with non-stick spray. Make the yellow cake mix as directed on the box. Fill the waffle maker with about 1 cup of batter and prepare waffles. Remove when desired color is reached. Let them cool completely on a wire rack before assembling.
- Make the raspberry jam: In a small saucepan, heat one medium one pint of raspberries, lemon juice, sugar and honey. Heat until you reach a slight boil, add the cornstarch and let it simmer until it thickens. Cool and set aside.
- Make Whipped cream cheese: With an electric mixer on medium, mix cream cheese, vanilla, and salt until smooth. Set aside. Mix the heavy cream on medium high until stiff peaks form. Fold into the cream cheese mixture and set aside until ready for assembly.
- Assemble and garnish: You literally just sandwich it all together. Place a waffle on a cake stand or platter. Add some raspberry jam, top with whipped cream cheese, then another waffle. Repeat until all waffles are added. Put the last bit of whipped cream cheese on top and garnish with fresh raspberries.
