Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat a waffle iron according to manufacturer instructions. Pour 1/3 cup batter onto the iron and cook until golden and crisp, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Step 2: While waffles cook, chop dark chocolate into 1/4-inch chunks. Place in a heatproof bowl and set over a pot of simmering water to melt, stirring until smooth and glossy.
  3. Step 3: Stack 3 cooked waffles on a plate. Drizzle 2 tbsp melted chocolate over the top, then scatter 1/2 cup raspberries and 1 tbsp maple syrup evenly across the stack.
  4. Step 4: Sprinkle almond slices over the chocolate, then drizzle remaining 2 tbsp chocolate and 1 tbsp maple syrup in a zigzag pattern for visual appeal.
  5. Step 5: Serve immediately with a side of whipped cream and additional raspberries for garnish.
