Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 3 cups All Purpose Flour
- 1/2 cup Sugar
- 3 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Baking Soda
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- 2 cups Milk
- 1/2 cup Butter, melted
- 3 Eggs
- 2 Tablespoons Vanilla Extract
Additional Ingredients
- 1 cup Blueberries
- 1 cup Cream Cheese, softened
- 2 Tablespoons Sugar
Instructions
- Heat Waffle Iron: Begin by preheating your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure it’s hot and ready to cook the batter evenly.
- Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with 2 tablespoons of sugar. Mix well until smooth and set aside for filling the waffles.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk the heavy cream, milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined.
- Incorporate Wet Into Dry: Pour the wet mixture into the well of the dry ingredients. Gently mix just until combined; the batter will be slightly lumpy, which is ideal for tender waffles.
- Add Blueberries: Carefully fold the fresh blueberries into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed without breaking them up too much.
- Cook Waffles: Spray the waffle iron liberally with non-stick cooking spray. Pour enough batter to cover the waffle iron surface, then quickly drop small spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture onto the batter. Cover with a little more batter to seal the cream cheese inside, and close the waffle iron. Cook for about 3 minutes or until waffles are golden and crisp.
- Serve: Remove waffles carefully and serve hot with your favorite toppings such as syrup, extra blueberries, or whipped cream. Enjoy the delightful combination of creamy and fruity flavors!
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the waffles light and fluffy.
- Fresh or frozen blueberries can be used; if frozen, do not thaw to prevent bleeding into the batter.
- The cream cheese filling adds a rich surprise inside each waffle; distribute it evenly for best results.
- Waffle iron temperatures and cooking times may vary, monitor closely the first time you cook.
- For crispier waffles, leave the cooked waffles on a wire rack instead of stacking them.
