Tips & Variations

• For added flavor, try mixing in some finely chopped nuts or a pinch of cinnamon into the cheesecake filling.
• Use different cookie varieties like graham crackers or biscotti for a unique twist on the topping.
• If you don’t have a waffle iron, a skillet can work too; cook the croffles over medium heat, flipping carefully to brown both sides.

Storage

Store leftover croffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a toaster oven or waffle iron for a few minutes to regain crispiness before serving.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use store-bought cheesecake filling instead of making my own?

Yes, store-bought cheesecake filling can be used to save time. Just be sure it’s softened and mix in the mini chocolate chips before filling the dough.

Will these croffles freeze well?

Yes, you can freeze cooked croffles. Let them cool completely, then freeze in a single layer on a baking sheet before transferring to a freezer bag. Reheat in a toaster oven or waffle iron directly from frozen.

Instructions

1. Make the cheesecake filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips for texture and flavor.
2. Prepare the dough squares: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the crescent or croissant dough. Cut it into 3 to 4-inch squares, which will serve as the croffle base for the filling.
3. Fill and seal the croffles: Place a spoonful of the prepared cheesecake filling in the center of each dough square. Fold the edges over the filling carefully, pressing to seal the edges tightly to prevent leakage during cooking.
4. Preheat and grease the waffle iron: Turn on your waffle iron and allow it to preheat fully. Grease the plates with non-stick spray or butter to ensure the croffles do not stick and cook evenly.
5. Cook the croffles: Place the filled dough squares onto the preheated waffle iron. Close and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the croffles are golden brown and have a crispy texture on the outside.
6. Finish and serve: Carefully remove the cooked croffles from the waffle iron. Immediately sprinkle them with crushed chocolate cookies and a light dusting of powdered sugar. Serve warm for the best taste and texture experience.

Notes

• Use full-fat cream cheese for a richer filling and better texture.
• Ensure the edges of the dough are sealed tightly to prevent filling from leaking during cooking.
• Adjust cooking time slightly depending on your waffle iron’s heat and thickness of dough.
• Serve croffles warm to enjoy the contrast between the crispy exterior and creamy filling.
• You can substitute crushed chocolate cookies with nuts or other favorite toppings for variation.
