Ingredients:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into cubes
3 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup whole milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Freshly whipped cream, for topping
Directions:
For waffles, in a saucepan or a double boiler over low heat, stir butter and chocolate until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in sugar. Whisk in eggs and vanilla, followed by milk. Stir in flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until just incorporated.
Preheat a Belgian waffle iron according to manufacturer’s instructions. Drop about 1/2 cup batter onto iron for each waffle (more or less depending on the size of your iron), and cook until outside is crispy. Serve warm, topped with more strawberries and freshly whipped cream, if desired.
