Whether you enjoy pizzelles on their own or atop your favorite flavor of ice cream, these Chocolate Pizzelles are deliciously simple.
Ingredients:
3 large eggs
1/3 cup almond milk
1 Tbsp water
1 cup Simple Mills Chocolate Muffin & Cake Mix
2 cups chopped dark chocolate (optional, for garnish)
Rainbow sprinkles (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
WHISK the eggs, then mix in the almond milk and water in a large mixing bowl
WHISK in the cake mix
PREHEAT a 3” pizzelle maker (it looks like a very shallow waffle iron). Lightly grease the grills, if necessary – if it’s not nonstick – before dropping heaping teaspoons of batter into each compartment. Close the cover of the machine and bake for approximately 3 minutes until the grill opens easily (the pizzelles won’t stick)
REMOVE the pizzelles from the machine and transfer to a wire cooling rack for a few minutes, until cool and crisp
REPEAT with the remainder of the batter
MELT the chocolate in a double boiler or in a heatproof bowl in the microwave once the pizzelles are all cooked and cooled(cook in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until completely melted and smooth). Please the sprinkles in a shallow plate or bowl
SWIPE each pizzelle firmly through the melted chocolate, and gently shake to remove the excess chocolate. Immediately place the chocolate-dunked side into the sprinkles and return the pizzelle to the cooling rack (or a cookie sheet lined with a nonstick pad or wax paper). Repeat with some more or the rest of the pizzelles
Tips:
You can make these ahead of time, but don’t chocolate-coat them until the same day that you’re going to serve them.
Store un-chocolate-coated pizzelles in a zip top bag with a 1” opening (i.e. don’t fully seal the bag) at rom temperature for up to 3 days.
If you don’t have the patience to dunk each individual pizzelle, lay them out in a single layer and drizzle the chocolate over them.
