Level: Easy 
Total: 45 min 
Prep: 15 min 
Cook: 30 min 
Yield: 4 servings 

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour 
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder 
• Fine salt 
• 4 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped 
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for brushing waffle iron 
• 1/2 cup sugar 2 large eggs, beaten 
• Vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, caramel sauce, sprinkles, and maraschino cherries, for topping  

Directions

1. Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (to keep cooked waffles warm). Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a small bowl; set aside.
2. Combine half the chocolate and the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring until melted and smooth, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly. Stir in the sugar and eggs. Add the flour mixture and remaining chocolate and stir until just combined.
3. Lightly brush the top and bottom of the waffle iron with butter. Fill the waffle iron about three-quarters of the way full (some waffle iron should still be showing). Close the lid gently and cook until the waffles are cooked through and slightly crispy around the edges, 4 to 6 minutes. Keep the cooked waffles warm in a 200 degrees F oven or cover with foil on a plate while you make the remaining waffles
4. Top each waffle with ice cream, whipped cream, caramel sauce, sprinkles, and a cherry, if desired.

Waffled Margherita Pizza

Level: Easy Total: 1 hr 45 min Prep: 25 min Inactive: 1 hr Cook: 20 min Yield: 2 pizzas

Level: Easy 
Total: 1 hr & 45 min 
Prep: 25 min 
Inactive: 1 hour

Cook: 20 min
Yield: 2 pizzas

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup canned pureed tomatoes 
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing dough 
• Large pinch of kosher salt 
• 2 to 3 fresh basil leaves, torn, plus more for garnish 
• 1/2 small clove garlic, very thinly sliced 
• One 8-ounce ball of fresh pizza dough, halved, room temperature 
• All-purpose flour, for dusting 
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese Parmesan, for sprinkling 
• Special equipment: waffle iron (preferably large) 

Directions

1. Stir together the tomatoes, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, basil and garlic. Let sit at room temperature to give the flavors time to meld, about 1 hour
2. Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high. Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour and roll out half of the pizza dough into a 6-inch round (or to the maximum size your waffle iron can fit). Brush one side with olive oil and place oiled-side down on the waffle iron, then brush the other side with oil. Close the iron (don't push down) and cook until golden and cooked through 4 to 6 minutes. Repeat with the remaining dough. 
3. Meanwhile, heat the tomato sauce in a microwave until hot. Spread each pizza with half of the sauce and half of the mozzarella. Place one pizza back on the waffle iron and hold the top of the iron just over the cheese until melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove and garnish with basil leaves, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with Parmesan. Repeat with the second pizza.  
4. Cut the pizzas into slices with a large knife or pizza cutter and serve.
