Description
A recipe for rich, flourless chocolate waffles flavored with espresso, served with fresh strawberries.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs
- 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons strong brewed espresso or coffee concentrate
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s directions.
- Melt the chocolate and butter together in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together until pale and slightly thickened, about 3 minutes.
- Whisk the cooled chocolate mixture, espresso, and vanilla extract into the egg mixture until just combined.
- Gently fold in the salt and almond flour until no streaks of flour remain. Do not overmix.
- Lightly grease the waffle iron plates if necessary. Pour the batter onto the hot iron, using enough to cover the surface without overflowing.
- Cook according to your waffle iron’s instructions until crisp and cooked through.
- Carefully remove the waffles and place them on a wire rack to cool slightly.
- Serve the waffles immediately topped with sliced strawberries and a dusting of powdered sugar, if desired.
Notes
- You can substitute regular brewed coffee for espresso if needed.
- For extra crispness, you can place finished waffles in a 200°F oven while you cook the remaining batches.
