Notes

1. Cream cheese - It’s okay to microwave the cream cheese for about 30 seconds to soften, allow to cool slightly, then whisk with a fork to lighten.

2. Protein Powder - You can use your favorite protein powder. I recommend whey or milk protein powders for best results. I use Keto Chow.

3. Ladle batter - Place a kitchen towel and a piece of parchment paper underneath the mini waffle maker to catch any spills.

4. Texture - If you put it on a cooling rack right out of the mini waffle maker, it will crisp up after a few minutes. The texture of these chaffles is light, fluffy, and slightly cake-like. If you like a crispy outside and the mini-waffle maker isn’t doing it for you, you can pop them in the toaster to crisp them up.

5. Icing - Adjust heavy cream according to your desired thickness.

6. Piping - For easy piping, add the icing to a small plastic bag with the corner snipped off or use a piping bag to top the chaffles.

7. Mini waffle maker - Dash makes the best mini waffle iron for chaffles.

8. Storage – Can be stored in the fridge for 3-4 days, then reheated in the toaster. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months.

9. Nutrition and carbs - Some nutrition labels omit sugar alcohols or allulose from the nutrition calculation since it does not affect blood sugar. For transparency, I have included all carbs and calculated the net carbs below. Always use a food logging app like Cronometer according to the brands you use in order to get accurate nutrition information.
