Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Waffle Batter
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 3/4 cups whole milk
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Lava Filling
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 8 large marshmallows (2 per bomb)
For Topping
  • Powdered sugar for dusting
  • Chocolate sauce or Nutella for drizzling (optional but highly recommended)
  • Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream to serve alongside

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Make the Chocolate Lava Filling by melting chocolate chips and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring until smooth.
  2. Chill the ganache in the fridge for 10 minutes to thicken as you prepare the waffle batter.
Mixing the Waffle Batter
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In another bowl, whisk eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
Preheating the Waffle Iron
  1. Preheat the waffle iron on medium-high, spraying with non-stick cooking spray.
Assembling the Waffle Bombs
  1. Pour 1/3 cup of batter into the waffle iron, add 2 marshmallows and 1 tablespoon of ganache, then cover with another 1/3 cup of batter.
  2. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes without opening the iron.
Finishing Touches
  1. Carefully open the waffle iron and check for a golden brown color. Let the waffle bomb sit for 60 seconds before cutting.
  2. Dust with powdered sugar and drizzle with chocolate sauce if desired. Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream.

Notes

Chill the ganache before using it, do not overfill, and use large marshmallows for best results. Serve immediately for optimal taste.
