What's cool about this, is you can substitute your favorite fruit/nuts for zillions of flavor combinations (and I do mean, zillions.) I've done this with fresh bing cherries/hazelnuts, and I've also tried granny smith apples/cinnamon/almonds too. If you don't have a waffle iron, you could do stuffed pancakes or french toast, too. Makes two servings.
waffle/pancake mix (enough for two servings)
4 oz. cream cheese
1/2 tsp. lemon zest
dash of vanilla extract
1 cup finely chopped strawberries
1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts
maple syrup
1 cute boyfriend to serve it to
Instructions:
• Make the waffle mix according to package instructions.
• While waffles are cooking, thoroughly mix cream cheese, lemon zest, vanilla extract, 1/2 cup strawberries, and 1/4 cup walnuts.
• Once waffles are done, spread 1/2 inch of cream cheese yummy-ness on half of the waffle, then fold the rest of waffle over to cover it.
• Top with remaining strawberries and walnuts.
• Garnish with powdered sugar, and serve with maple syrup.
