Cuisine: Dutch
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 4 stroopwafels
- 200g mascarpone cheese
- 100g fresh strawberries, sliced
- 50g dark chocolate, melted
Instructions
- Wash and carefully slice the fresh strawberries into thin, uniform pieces, ensuring they are clean and dry.
- In a medium mixing bowl, gently soften the mascarpone cheese by stirring it with a spatula until smooth and spreadable.
- Melt the dark chocolate using a double boiler or microwave, stirring carefully to ensure a smooth, glossy consistency. Allow to cool slightly.
- Take two stroopwafels and place them caramel-side up on a clean work surface.
- Spread an even layer of softened mascarpone cheese on the caramel surface of each stroopwafel, covering the entire wafel.
- Arrange the sliced strawberries carefully on top of the mascarpone layer on one of the stroopwafels.
- Drizzle the melted dark chocolate over the strawberries in a decorative pattern.
- Carefully place the second stroopwafel on top, mascarpone-side down, to create a sandwich.
- Optional: For an extra touch, you can lightly dust the top of the stroopwafel with powdered sugar or additional melted chocolate.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh, creamy texture and contrasting flavors.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure your mascarpone is at room temperature for smooth spreading, and let melted chocolate cool slightly to prevent soggy wafels.
- Strawberry Selection: Choose ripe, firm strawberries and pat them dry after washing to prevent excess moisture.
- Chocolate Technique: Use high-quality dark chocolate and melt it gently to maintain a glossy finish.
- Presentation Hack: For a professional look, use a piping bag or spoon to drizzle chocolate in elegant patterns.
- Serve Immediately: These sandwiches are best enjoyed fresh to maintain the perfect texture contrast between crispy wafel and creamy filling.
- Customization Option: Experiment with white chocolate or add a sprinkle of chopped nuts for extra texture.
