Add optional toppings like chocolate syrup, fresh fruits, or whipped cream for extra indulgence. Serve immediately for the best contrast between the hot waffle and cold ice cream.

Ingredients:

For Waffles:

• 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 2 large eggs
• 1 ¾ cups milk
• ½ cup melted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• A pinch of salt

For Toppings:

• Your favorite ice cream (vanilla, chocolate, or any other flavor)
• Chocolate syrup, caramel sauce, or maple syrup
• Fresh fruits (optional: strawberries, bananas)
• Whipped cream (optional)
• Crushed nuts or sprinkles (optional)

Instructions:

Prepare the Batter:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking until the batter is smooth. Be careful not to overmix.

Preheat the Waffle Maker:

• Turn on your waffle maker and let it heat up according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly grease it with a small amount of butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.

Cook the Waffles:

• Pour the batter into the center of the preheated waffle maker, ensuring that it covers the surface evenly. Close the waffle maker and cook for about 3-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Repeat until all the batter is used.

Prepare the Toppings:

• While the waffles are cooking, scoop your favorite ice cream flavors into small balls. You can also prepare fresh fruits like strawberries and bananas by slicing them, and warm up any syrup if needed.

Plate the Waffles:

• Place a waffle on a plate and top it with a scoop (or two) of ice cream. Drizzle chocolate or caramel sauce over the waffle and ice cream. You can also sprinkle crushed nuts or add fresh fruits as desired.

Add Extra Toppings:

• Finish off by adding a dollop of whipped cream on top, more syrup or sprinkles if you like. For a more decadent presentation, consider adding chocolate chips or even melted Nutella.

Serve Immediately:

• Waffles with ice cream are best served warm, so serve immediately after adding the toppings to enjoy the contrast between the crispy waffles and the cold, creamy ice cream.

Enjoy:

• Your delicious waffle with ice cream is ready to be enjoyed as a delightful dessert or even a fancy breakfast treat
