Puff Pastry Waffles

Clinton Kelly
Clinton’s happy kitchen accident turned into the easiest dessert you’ll ever make—crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and perfect with a scoop of ice cream.
Prep Time:

Cook Time

Serves:
4-6 Servings
Level:
Beginner
1 package frozen puff pastry (such as Pepperidge Farm)
Granulated sugar (for sprinkling)
Vanilla ice cream
Chocolate syrup
Ingredients
Step 1
Thaw & Cut:
Let the puff pastry thaw in the fridge until pliable. Unfold each sheet and slice into nine squares (like a tic-tac-toe grid) to make 18 pieces total.
Step 2
Sugar Sandwich:
Place one square down, sprinkle generously with sugar, and top with another square to form a “sugar sandwich.”
Step 3
Into the Iron:
Preheat your waffle iron to medium-high (around an 8 on a 1–10 scale). Add the sugar sandwiches and close the lid. Cook for about 6 minutes, or until puffed, golden, and caramelized.
Instructions
Carefully remove the hot waffles
Top each with a scoop of vanilla ice cream
Drizzle generously with chocolate syrup.
Serve immediately.
