- Hey guys, today I'm going to show you how
to make a fantastic summertime treat,
known as a waffle witch,
essentially an ice cream sandwich made with waffles.
The combination of the warm, fluffy waffles,
mixed with the creamy ice cream
is what makes this dessert so delicious.
Breyers Ice Cream is sponsoring this video,
and I'm collaborating with them to show you
how you can make three delicious
combinations using their ice cream.
So first, let me show you how to make the waffle batter.
Now if you didn't want to take the time
to do this step, you certainly could
use frozen waffles as well.
So, in a large bowl we're going to add
one and a half cups of all purpose flour,
one tablespoon of baking powder,
a half a teaspoon of baking soda,
a half a teaspoon of salt
and one tablespoon of sugar.
You can go ahead and whisk that all together,
until it's combined,
and then we're going to add one cup of milk
and three quarters cup of plain club soda.
Now this is the secret ingredient,
because it is going to create a
very light and fluffy waffle.
This is a tip I learned from my Aunt Nancy
years ago and my family has been doing it every since.
It is such a great way to get a
very light and fluffy waffle.
And then you can just whisk that
all up until everything is combined.
And then you want to add two eggs, a teaspoon of vanilla,
and eight table spoons of melted butter.
You can whisk that all up until
everything is nice and smooth,
and then your waffle batter is ready.
Okay, so not that our waffle batter is ready to go,
let me show you my three favorite combinations.
I spent an evening with my family testing
all of these different combos, and let me tell you,
these three were the clear winners.
So first up, the strawberry shortcake waffle witch,
so the first thing you're gong to do
is ladle out a little bit of the waffle
batter into your pre-heated iron.
Now, one of the things I like to do
is just use a small amount of batter.
I actually don't want that whole well to be filled up.
And the reason being, is because I find that these are
really pretty when you get those
jagged edges of the waffles,
which is what will happen if you
don't fill up the entire well.
So that's just how I like it,
you could certainly fill up the whole well
if you like that look better.
And before you close your waffle iron,
you're going to take a lemon
and just grate a little bit of
fresh lemon zest into the batter.
And what that will do, is when you close that top
to cook your waffle, that lemon zest will just
get infused into the waffle,.
Which is a really great flavor
combination with the strawberries.
Then once you're waffle is done,
you're going to place one on a plate,
and then top with a generous scoop
of Breyers creamery style French vanilla ice cream.
Spoon some sliced strawberries on top,
garnish with a little bit of roughly chopped mint,
top with your second waffle,
and then just to make it extra pretty,
dust with some powdered sugar.
I love this flavor combination,
because you've got that lightly scented,
lemon waffle underneath, mixed with that rich ice cream,
the freshness of the strawberries and the mint.
It is just summertime in every little bite.
So now, for something a little bit more decadent,
a waffle witch I call black magic.
Okay, so we're going to ladle out our waffle batter,
just like we did before, and then to this waffle batter,
we are going to add some Hershey's dark chocolate chipits.
Oh yes, this is what is going to make this so delicious.
Then you're going to close the lid, let those cook,
and then once you're waffles are fully baked,
you're going to pop one on a plate,
and then go ahead and top with a big scoop
of Breyers dark cherry vanilla ice cream.
Garnish with some sliced almonds,
and then you can place the second waffle on top,
dust with some powdered sugar, and there you have it.
Our second waffle witch.
And when you dive into this waffle witch sandwich,
you'll know why it's called black magic.
You will definitely get under its spell,
it is that delicious.
You've got that combination of
the dark chocolate in the waffle
mixed with that dark cherry vanilla ice cream,
the crunch of the almonds.
It is a flavor combination that can't be beat.
And finally, the toffee crunch gelato waffle witch.
So for this one, we're going to ladle out our batter,
and then to this batter, we're going to add a couple
of Score bits into the waffle batter,
and this is going to create that
delicious toffee crunch into our waffle base.
Go ahead and let it cook, and then once they're fully baked,
you can take one out, pop it on the plate,
and then for this waffle witch,
we are going to top with a delicious scoop of
Breyers vanilla caramel gelato.
Top with some chopped pecans, place the other waffle on top,
dust with your powdered sugar, and there you have it.
A really delicious flavor combination as well.
I love this flavor combination,
because you've got the crunch of the Score bits
that have been baked into the waffle,
that rich and creamy gelato on top,
mixed with the buttery crunch of the pecans.
It is such a great flavor combination.
I love this waffle witch,
because it's sophisticated and would be perfect
if you were serving this at a dinner party,
but it's also a waffle witch, an ice cream sandwich,
so it makes you feel like a big kid at the same time.
So, there you have it,
my three favorite waffle witch combinations.
I hope you guys give this a try this summer,

I think you will enjoy them as much as we do.
