👩🍳 Instructions
-
1
Preheat your mini waffle maker. Lightly grease if necessary.
-
2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, granulated sweetener, baking powder, and salt until well combined and no lumps remain.
-
3
In a separate small bowl, whisk the egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
-
4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
-
5
Gently fold in the shredded mozzarella cheese until evenly distributed.
-
6
Spoon about 2 tablespoons of batter per chaffle onto the preheated waffle maker. Close the lid and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown and firm. Remove and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
-
7
While chaffles cool, prepare the cream filling: In a medium bowl, beat softened cream cheese and softened butter with an electric mixer until light and fluffy (1-2 minutes).
-
8
Gradually add the powdered sweetener and vanilla extract, beating until smooth and well combined.
-
9
With the mixer on low, slowly drizzle in the heavy cream until the filling reaches your desired consistency (thick but spreadable).
-
10
Once chaffles are completely cool, spread or pipe a generous amount of cream filling onto one chaffle half, then top with another chaffle to create a sandwich. Repeat with remaining chaffles and filling.
-
11
Serve immediately or chill for 15-30 minutes for the filling to firm up slightly.
💡 Notes
For best results, use Dutch-processed cocoa powder for a darker color and richer flavor. Ensure chaffles cool completely on a wire rack to maintain crispness. If making ahead, store chaffle cookies and filling separately and assemble just before serving.
