Decadent Dark Chocolate Waffles

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Cakes and Desserts
A chocoholic's dream. Cocoa powder gives the batter its deep color and base flavor, while melting dark chocolate chunks provide the real experience. Thanks to the high cocoa butter content and lower sugar, this offers a sophisticated, intense flavor profile rounded out by vanilla. Not cloying, just rich.

Instructions

1 ✓

Chop the dark chocolate into small chunks.

Tip: Chocolate chips work, but hand-chopped chocolate melts better and looks more rustic.
2 ✓

Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder, then whisk in the sugar and salt.

Tip: Cocoa powder tends to clump; sifting fixes this and aerates the mix.
3 ✓

Whisk the eggs with milk, vanilla, and the lukewarm butter.

Tip: Lukewarm butter is crucial so it doesn't scramble the eggs or solidify in cold milk.
4 ✓

Combine wet and dry ingredients, then fold in the chocolate chunks.

Tip: Don't overmix, or the waffles will be tough.
5 ✓

Cook in the waffle iron.

Tip: Since the batter is dark, it's hard to see doneness. Watch the steam: when it stops billowing, they are likely done.
6 ✓

Cool on a wire rack.

Tip: Serve with chocolate sauce for a triple-chocolate experience.

Recipe FAQ

Why does it taste bitter?
If you overcook them, the cocoa powder can burn and turn bitter. Rely on smell and steam, as you can't see browning on dark batter!
Can I use milk chocolate?
Yes, but it will be much sweeter. You might want to reduce the sugar in the batter.
