The combination of croissant and waffle creates a culinary baby that pushes all taste boundaries.
Croffles are made by putting croissant batter in a waffle iron and baking it until golden brown.
The result?
A wonderful combination of the buttery, delicate texture of a croissant with the characteristic grooves and crunch of a waffle.

This croffle variant seduces with a tasteful symphony of sweet and fruity notes, which culminate in an artfully designed pastry.
Once the croissant dough has acquired its golden crust in the waffle iron, it is given a coating of melted white chocolate, which forms a creamy base.
Raspberries and blueberries not only add colorful accents, but also bring in a fresh, slightly sour flavor component that combines wonderfully with the sweetness of the chocolate.
A touch of powdered sugar provides the final sweet touch and an elegant look.
The crowning finale is dipping the croffles in vanilla sauce.
A feast for the senses and an excellent introduction to the seductive world of croffles.

The Caramel Cracker Croffle sets new standards in sweet temptation by presenting the classic croffle with an innovative twist.
The core of this creation remains the perfectly baked croffle, which impresses with its crispy outside and soft inside.
But the real highlight of this creation is the topping: a rich layer of crunchy salted caramel, refined with almonds for an extra bite.
The contrast between the delicate croffle and the crunchy topping makes every fork a little moment of enjoyment.
Whether for breakfast, as a snack in between or as a sweet temptation in the evening - the caramel cracker croffle promises to put a smile on every face.
Ingredients for the caramel cracker croffle topping:
150g sugar
2 tbsp water
100 g almonds, chopped
0.5 tsp coarse sea salt
Preparation:
In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar and water over medium heat.
Allow the mixture to simmer without stirring until it turns a golden brown color.
This can take a few minutes.
It's important to keep an eye on the caramel as it can quickly go from golden brown to burnt.
Once the caramel has reached the desired color, add the almonds and sea salt and stir.
Spread the caramel-almond mixture on a baking tray lined with baking paper and allow to cool.
Then crumble and serve on the croffle.
Vanilla ice cream tastes good with it.
By the way, with a cleaning waffle you can keep the waffle iron clean without the hassle of scrubbing.
