How to Make Strawberry Cheesecake Stuffed Waffles

Before you start, you'll want to preheat the waffle iron and spray it with non-stick spray.

Then, mix the boxed waffle mix according to the package directions. You'll need enough for 12 waffles.

Next, beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla together in a medium bowl, until smooth.

Start making the waffles by pouring ¼ to ⅓ cup of prepared waffle batter onto the waffle iron.

Then, add a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture and a sprinkle of strawberries on top of the batter.

Top with more batter. Then close and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the waffle iron indicates the waffle is done cooking.

Continue this until the entire batch has been made.

Serve hot waffles with a dusting of powdered sugar, a drizzle of maple syrup, fresh whipped cream, or sliced fresh strawberries.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Do You Make Sure a Stuffed Waffle is Cooked Through?

To make sure your stuffed waffle is cooked through, follow the directions of your waffle maker. If using a specialty stuffed waffle maker, it's much easier. When using a traditional waffle maker, you can set the heat to medium and cook them a bit longer to make sure they are cooked through but not burned.

Another option is to prepare them, and then, spray the pan with cooking spray and place each of the prepared stuffed waffles in the pan. Cook them for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, flipping once halfway through. They should be golden brown and crispy on the outside and creamy and gooey on the inside.

How Long are Strawberry Cheesecake Waffles Good For?

When stored properly, strawberry cheesecake stuffed waffles can last up to 3 days in the refrigerator. To store them, simply wrap each waffle in plastic wrap and place it in an airtight container. When you’re ready to enjoy them again, just pop them into the microwave or oven for a few seconds or heat them on the stovetop

Can I Freeze Homemade Strawberry Cream Cheese Waffles?

Yes, you can freeze homemade strawberry cream cheese waffles. To do this, wrap each cooled waffle in plastic wrap and place them into a freezer-safe bag or container.

Date and label the waffles and store them for up to three months in the freezer.

When you’re ready to enjoy them again, thaw them overnight and then just heat them up in the microwave or on the stovetop for a few minutes and they’ll be as good as freshly made.
