Mint Chocolate Chip Waffle Sandwich

How to make a mint chocolate chip cream waffle perfect for St. Patrick’s Day! The mint cream is a great lower carb, less sugar snack and so quick and easy to whip up – you won’t even miss the syrup!

It’s Waffle of the Month time!

Last month’s waffle of the month was Red Velvet White Chocolate Chip. This month, I wanted to go with something perfect for St. Patrick’s Day.

The mint chocolate chip cream that I put in between my waffle slices was inspired by a dessert my aunt makes as a sugar free snack. She leaves the extract out, and puts in fresh fruit, but I wanted mint chocolate chip.

Aside from the added chocolate chips, the cream is a great lower carb, less sugar snack that is similar to frosting. I make up a tub of this cream, and it keeps in the fridge. It’s not recommended that you keep prepared pudding for more than a week. I like to use it on waffles, dip graham crackers or apple slices into it or eat a couple spoonfuls.

Before we get into it, I want to clarify that this is not a low carb recipe. The waffle has tons of carbs in it, but rather the cream filling is a lower carb recipe. I feel pretty good about cutting some carbs and sugar out with this cream mix, so I can enjoy the waffle a little more with less guilt.

Makes:

1 Waffle

Time Required:

45 Minutes

• Mix Cream (5-7 Minutes)
• Chill Cream (30 Minutes)
• Mix Waffle Ingredients (5 Minutes)
• Rest Waffle Mix (5 Minutes)
• Cook Waffle (3 Minutes)
• Assemble

Waffle Ingredients – Makes 1:

• 1/2 Cup of Waffle Mix – I like Aunt Jemima
• 1/2 Tbsp Butter or Oil – I use Country Crock’s Plant Butter
• 6 Tbsp of Milk – I use lactose free 2%
• 1 Egg

Mint Chocolate Chip Cream Ingredients – Makes a Tub:

• 1 Tsp Mint Extract
• 1 1 oz Package of Sugar Free Vanilla Pudding Mix
• 1 Cup of Milk – I use lactose free 2%
• 1 8 oz Tub of Sugar Free Cool Whip
• 1/2 Cup of Chocolate Chips
• Optional, 1/4 Tsp Green Gel Food Coloring

You’ll Also Need:

• Mixing Bowl
• Spoon/Spatula for Mixing Ingredients
• Measuring Cup and Spoons
• Pam, or Butter and Flour for Cooking
• Waffle Maker

Ingredient Notes:

• WAFFLE MIX: I sometimes use Hungry Jack, but I think Aunt Jemima makes a fluffier waffle.
• EGG: If you make more than 1 waffle, use 1 egg per 2 waffles.
• MILK: I do not recommend almond milk. In my experience, instant pudding does not set up with almond milk. I am lactose intolerant, and I use lactose free 2% milk.
• FOOD COLORING: Only changes overall color so it’s not essential. You can use more for more color, but green coloring alone is on the lighter side as shown. If you want more of an Emerald color, try mixing with blue and a dab of black. Also, I like to use gel coloring as it’s more concentrated than liquid coloring so less is more. If you use liquid coloring instead, you may want to use a little less liquid in the overall waffle since it adds that fluid in.

Recipe Notes:

I tried to use a small shamrock cookie cutter to cut my waffle pieces into the shape…

… but as you can see, I was a little short on space. Haha! I kind of like it though.

However, next time, I will just keep the triangles from the waffle.

Recipe:

Step 1: Mix together the milk for the mint chocolate chip cream with the pudding mix for about two minutes. It will thicken.

Step 2: Add in the mint extract.

Step 3: Fold in the Cool Whip. Try not to over mix it as it can alter the texture.

Step 4: Mix in the food coloring until blended.

Step 5: Add in the chocolate chips.

Step 6: Place the mint chocolate chip cream into the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

Step 7: In the last 10 – 15 minutes, mix the wet ingredients of the waffle together.

Step 8: Combine wet ingredients with the waffle mix until it’s no longer lumpy.

Step 9: Let batter rest for about 5 minutes.

Step 10: Plug in waffle maker, spray with Pam, and when ready, cook waffle for about 3 minutes.

Step 11: Assemble waffle – I pulled my triangles apart to sandwich on top of each other, and put the mint chocolate chip cream in between the slices. I embellished the edge a little with some festive sprinkles. I also tried one big waffle stack for fun – shown above.
