Waffle Wedge Sundaes

Chocolate Waffle Wedges

These pretty waffle wedges would certainly make breakfast better, but I like the idea of adding them to ice cream. Chocolate waffles dipped and drizzled in melted chocolate and covered in pastel sprinkles. Perfect.

Waffle Batter

I broke out the top loading vertical waffle maker that I received for Christmas last year [1]. Still love it …

… and how it perfectly fills up the waffle shape with batter.

Chocolate Waffles

You can get 6 waffles or 24 wedges from the recipe below. That’s a lot of ice cream sundaes, so feel free to freeze some or just enjoy them as straight up warm chocolate waffles.

Dipped Waffles

To decorate wedges, melt chocolate candy coating in a small bowl and dip the round waffle edges in.

Sweetapolita Sprinkle Medley

I used these gloriously beautiful sprinkles from my friend Sweetapolita [2] to dress them up. If you haven’t stumbled on her sprinkle shop [3] yet, hop on over to see all the amazing color combinations she has. It’s a very happy place.

Sweetapolita Sprinkles

Before the chocolate melts, cover the edges with sprinkles. Sprinkle them over a large bowl so you can reuse any leftover. Lay waffle wedge on a wax paper covered surface and drizzle with more chocolate. Let dry and they’re ready for their close up.
