Easy Elegant Frozen Waffles

Waffles needn’t be just for breakfast! Create simple, quick and easy “dessert waffles” that are elegant, appealing and versatile.

If you take an ordinary waffle and top it with a scoop of ice cream (preferably low or non-fat) and a yummy sauce, you have a sundae of sorts that surprises and satisfies. You can make this an incredibly low-fat, low calorie dessert with fat-free waffles and ice cream or even fat-free whipped topping. The possibilities are endless!

For a signature touch, try the Butterscotch Glaze (recipe below) as a topping. You can also select from the vast array of ready-to-eat sauces from the supermarket. Choose from fruit to chocolate to caramel. You could also top your waffles with canned pie filling, orange-cranberry sauce from a jar, fruit preserves, standard ice cream sundae toppings or various “gourmet” fruit concoctions available from the specialty foods section.

Follow this method:
Toast one standard-size frozen waffle per person. If you need to toast a large batch, you could do so under the broiler on a baking sheet.

Top each waffle with a scoop of ice cream or frozen yogurt, flavor of your choice. Drizzle with the Butterscotch Glaze below or your favorite topping to taste. Add a squirt of whipped cream and chopped nuts, if desired.
