These fluffy heart-shaped waffles with whipped cream are an easy, crowd-pleasing breakfast perfect for special occasions or lazy mornings. The secret is folding whipped egg whites into the batter for a light, airy texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs, separated
  • 1 3/4 cups (415ml) whole milk
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your heart-shaped waffle iron to medium-high heat (about 5 minutes).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  3. Separate eggs into two bowls, yolks in one and whites in another, ensuring no yolk gets into the whites.
  4. In the yolk bowl, add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract; whisk until smooth.
  5. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Whip egg whites with an electric mixer or hand whisk until stiff peaks form.
  7. Gently fold one-third of the whipped egg whites into the batter, then fold in the remaining whites carefully.
  8. Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with butter or non-stick spray.
  9. Pour about 1/2 cup (120ml) batter per heart shape, close the lid, and cook for 3–5 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
  10. Place cooked waffles on a cooling rack to keep crisp while finishing the batch.
  11. In a chilled bowl, beat heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
  12. Serve waffles warm topped with whipped cream.

Notes

If batter is too thick, add a splash more milk to loosen. Test one waffle first to adjust cooking time. Use a cooling rack to keep waffles crisp. Whip egg whites and cream properly for best fluffiness. Melted butter should be slightly cooled before mixing.
