Churro Waffles with Dulce De Leche Whipped Cream – a mash up of a Mexican Style treat with a waffle topped with Mexican Style sweet dipping sauce

My Bachelorette Party is this upcoming weekend. Whoohoo!!!!

That just means that the wedding will be here before I know it!

I am not one for a lot of fan fare for things like that so it’s going to be pretty mellow. We are skipping the club stuff and party bus, and are doing a food tour in Boston. Plus, I’m only doing that so my amazing matron of honor sister had something fun to do as I said “hell to the no” for a bridal shower. I can feel the hives just thinking of those words. ha!

I’m looking forward to getting to hang with my sister and family. Plus, the food tour should be so fun. Also, a night spent in the hotel is always awesome.

Besides all that I’m also looking forward to Cinco de Mayo next week!!!!!

Bring on the tacos, margaritas, and chips and dip! But I say that you should start celebrating at breakfast! Like on your birthday you should have chocolate or cake. So why not have a fun Cinco De Mayo inspired breakfast?!?!

I made Churro Waffles with Dulce De Leche Whipped Cream! They are delightfully crispy, delightfully buttery, and delightfully sweet. It’s just delightful.

I adapted the waffle recipe from my Classic Homemade Waffle recipe. It’s a great waffle recipe so it makes for a great starting point for so many waffle recipes. I just jazzed it up with some extra cinnamon and an extra glug of vanilla extract to make it a bit sweeter and even more flavorful.

Churros are typically a small hand held dessert so I made these waffles into minis so they could be eaten similarly. I just put a bit of batter (about 1/4 cup) in the center of each of the 4 waffle reserves in my waffle iron. If you want to make larger waffles feel free to do that, just keep in mind the quantity of waffles will go down, compared to the 20 3″ diameter ones.

I toyed around with different toppings from a chocolate sauce to a spiked coffee whipped cream.

Ultimately, I liked the idea of a whipped cream so I decided to incorporate some dulce de leche. You can make your own dulce de leche but I just grabbed a can of it and added a very generous scoop to my whipped cream to make this Mexican treat even more sinfully decadent!

Be sure that when you eat these Churro Waffles with Dulce De Leche Whipped Cream that you lick all of of cinnamon and sugar off your fingers. It’s kinda a must.

7. Quickly dip each flat face of the waffles into the butter and then put into the cinnamon sugar mixture. Spoon the mixture over to evenly cover the exposed side. Lift up and gently shake off the excess sugar. Place on a wire rack to cool.
