Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat waffle iron to medium-high. Pour 1/4 cup batter onto the center of the preheated iron, spreading slightly to form a 6-inch circle. Cook for 3-4 minutes until golden and crisp.
  2. Step 2: While waffles cook, melt chopped dark chocolate with heavy cream in a double boiler over simmering water, stirring until smooth and glossy (about 3 minutes).
  3. Step 3: Remove waffle from iron and immediately dip one side into melted chocolate, coating completely. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together orange zest, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract with 1 tsp water to form a smooth glaze.
  5. Step 5: Drizzle glaze over chocolate-coated waffles while still warm. Let sit for 5 minutes until chocolate sets before serving.
