Vanilla Ice Cream Waffles

This waffle recipe is a fantastic dessert that can be made using little ingredients and in less than 30 minutes. It's just like making pancakes, but with an addition of mixed berries and vanilla ice cream on top to make a scrumptious dessert the whole family will enjoy! You can enjoy this as breakfast/brunch meal without the ice cream and just the berries or make the whole recipe for dessert. This waffle recipe was taken from the book, Cooking In Style The Costco Way & under "Desserts."

*If you do not have a waffle iron you can substitute the waffles with regular pancakes, like I did*
Recipe:

2 1/2 cups Kirkland Signature vanilla ice cream, plus more for topping

2 large eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
Cooking oil spray
1 cup fresh sliced strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, or blueberries

Steps:

1. Preheat a waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions. Preheat oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Place 2 1/2 cups of ice cream in a bowl.
* It is important to remember to have your ice cream somewhat melted while your cooking your waffles because if not, you will for them to defrost for a while after everything else is finished* (Casey 197)
3. In a separate bowl, beat eggs with a whisk until they are pale yellow. And eggs to the melted ice cream and whisk to blend.
4. Whisk in salt and flour until just combined.
5. To ensure your waffles will be crisp and not over/under cooked, "lightly coat the waffle iron with cooking oil using a pastry brush or with cooking spray" (197).
6. For each waffle, measure about 1/2 cup of batter and pour over the waffle-iron grid to cover. Cook for 4-6 minutes, or until golden brown.
7. Transfer waffles to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven until ready to serve.
8. Top waffles with ice cream and berries. Makes 4 servings (8 waffles).

If you choose to make this recipe, will you use a different kind of ice cream(chocolate, cookies and cream, rocky road, etc..) or perhaps different kinds of fruits?
