Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise, seeds scraped out
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
4 large egg yolks
1/3 cup sugar
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, preferably black or dark cocoa
1/3 cup sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 3/4 cups buttermilk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
4 large egg whites
1 1/4 cups mini chocolate chips
Nonstick cooking spray

Steps:

  • For the creme anglaise: Bring the milk, cream, vanilla and salt to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk the egg yolks and sugar in a medium heatproof bowl until well combined.
  • When the milk mixture comes to a simmer, pour about a quarter of it into the yolk mixture while whisking constantly to combine. Place the saucepan with the remaining milk mixture over low heat. While whisking constantly, add the yolk mixture to the saucepan. Whisk until the mixture begins to thicken, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Switch to a silicone spatula and continue to cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is thick enough to heavily coat the spatula, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, cover the saucepan and set aside.
  • For the waffles: Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl to combine. Whisk the buttermilk, oil and melted butter in a medium bowl until well combined.
  • Whip the egg whites in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (or in a medium bowl with a handheld mixer) to medium peaks.
  • Add the buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture and whisk well to combine. Add about a quarter of the whipped egg whites and whisk more vigorously to combine. Add the remaining egg whites in 2 to 3 additions, folding gently after each addition until just incorporated. Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips.
  • Preheat a Belgian-style waffle iron to medium and grease as needed with nonstick spray. Scoop the waffle batter into the heated waffle iron, close and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions until the waffle is crisp, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  • Reheat the creme anglaise over low heat. Stir gently until fluid and warm, then gently strain into a serving bowl.
  • To serve, cut the waffles into quarters and serve alongside the creme anglaise for dipping. Or plate the waffles and allow guests to drizzle the sauce over their own waffles. Serve immediately.

These waffles were a bit too rich for my taste. I think I would have preferred a lighter flavor.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my waffles turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked them.

The waffles were really good, but the creme anglaise was a bit too thick for my taste. I think I would have preferred a thinner sauce.

These waffles were a bit too dense for my taste. I think I would have preferred a lighter batter.

These waffles were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's because I used a dark chocolate. I'll try them again with a milk chocolate or semisweet chocolate next time.

The waffles were a bit dry, but the creme anglaise helped to make them more moist. Overall, they were still a good breakfast.
