Happy Friday! This week went fast and so I was looking for a quick and fun dessert. Inspired by the sundaes at Disney World, this Cookies & Cream Mickey Waffle Sundae features dark chocolate Mickey waffles, cookies & cream ice cream, and crushed Oreo cookies!
Mickey waffles are some of my favorite things to eat both in the park and now, thanks to my Mickey Waffle Maker, at home. They’re quick and easy to make and always add a bit of magic to whatever meal I’m making them for. For this waffle sundae, I used the Mickey Mouse 90th Anniversary Waffle Maker, which makes small waffles that look like the ones you can find in the parks. I bought mine at ShopDisney, but you can also find them at BoxLunch, Amazon, and Select Brands. You can also use any other kind of waffle maker for this recipe!
Since I was going for a cookies & cream theme, I made my chocolate Mickey waffles using black cocoa powder. I typically use black cocoa powder when I want a dark or black color but also when I’m looking for an Oreo flavor. Since cookies & cream ice cream is traditionally vanilla with Oreo cookie pieces, using the black cocoa powder felt appropriate. I order my black cocoa powder from King Arthur Baking. If you don’t have black cocoa powder or want a more traditional chocolate flavor, just substitute your favorite cocoa powder.
To make the waffles, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and cocoa powder in a medium bowl. Add the egg, buttermilk, and vanilla extract and whisk to combine. Add the butter and whisk until smooth.
Heat your waffle maker and then transfer the batter into the waffle maker. Cook the waffles according to your waffle maker’s instructions. Using the Mickey Mouse waffle maker, I ended up with 8-9 waffles.
To assemble the sundaes, place a couple scoops of ice cream in a bowl. Add two mickey waffles, a handful of crushed Oreos, and any other toppings you might like. Enjoy!
