Ingredients
For the waffles:
- 2 cups (10 ounces) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (1 1/2 )ounces unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup brown sugar 3 1/2 ounces – packed
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1- teaspoon baking soda
- 1- teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 large eggs – separated and at room temperature
- 2 cups buttermilk – at room temperature
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1- teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 oz. bittersweet chocolate – finely chopped
- Non-stick vegetable oil spray
For the Mascarpone Whipped Cream:
- 8 ounces mascarpone cheese at room temperature
- 1/4 cup +1 tablespoon divided confectioners’ sugar
- 3/4 cup heavy cream at room temperature
- 1- teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup fresh raspberries or any other seasonal fruit you like
Instructions
- Sift flour, cocoa powder, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and kosher salt in a large bowl.
- In another large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, buttermilk, olive oil, and vanilla extract.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in 3 batches. Do not overbeat. Just mix them until thoroughly combined.
- Using a standing mixer beat egg whites until soft peaks form, 5-7 minutes.
- Gently fold in the egg whites into the batter, until no white streaks remain.
- Fold in the chocolate.
- Heat your waffle maker until it is very hot. Pour 1/2 cup of the batter onto your well-oiled (with vegetable spray) waffle maker. Cook until it is cooked through. (My waffle maker has a light that goes off when it is cooked. Follow your waffle maker’s instructions.) Transfer them onto a baking sheet and let them cool.
To make the Mascarpone Whipped Cream:
- Place mascarpone cheese in the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, and whip it for 1 minute.
- Slowly add heavy cream, confectioners’ sugar, and vanilla extract in the bowl and whip the mixture until it turns into light and fluffy.
- Like I mentioned in the post, everything must be in room temperature to prevent curdling.
To assemble:
- Place the first waffle onto a plate and spread 1/4 cup of the mascarpone whipped cream onto it.
- Place the second one on top of the first one, and again, spread 1/4 cup mascarpone whipped cream.
- Repeat this process two more times.
- Top it off with raspberries.
- Sprinkle it with 1 tablespoon (or more) of confectioners’ sugar.
- Serve immediately.
