Print Recipe

A crispy, cinnamon-sugar coated waffle bowl perfect for holding ice cream and drizzled with rich dulce de leche, creating a playful and indulgent homemade dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) whole milk (can substitute almond milk)
  • 4 tbsp (60g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sugar mixed with 2 tsp cinnamon (for coating)
  • 1/2 cup dulce de leche (store-bought or homemade)
  • Vanilla ice cream (for serving)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt (about 5 minutes).
  2. In another bowl, beat eggs, then add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract; whisk until smooth and slightly frothy (about 3 minutes).
  3. Slowly pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined; batter should be thick but pourable (about 2 minutes).
  4. Preheat waffle bowl maker or waffle iron according to manufacturer instructions and lightly grease (about 5 minutes).
  5. Pour about 1/4 cup (60ml) batter into the center of the heated maker; close and cook for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
  6. If using a regular waffle iron, quickly drape the warm waffle over an inverted small bowl or cup to form a bowl shape; let cool and harden (about 1 minute per bowl).
  7. While still warm, brush or sprinkle waffle bowls generously with cinnamon sugar mixture, pressing lightly to adhere (1-2 minutes).
  8. Warm dulce de leche gently in a small saucepan over low heat or microwave for 15-20 seconds until pourable (2-3 minutes).
  9. Spoon vanilla ice cream into the churro waffle bowl and drizzle with warm dulce de leche. Add optional toppings like chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or fresh berries (about 5 minutes).

Notes

Use a non-stick waffle maker and keep it clean to prevent sticking. Coat waffle bowls with cinnamon sugar immediately after cooking while warm for best adherence and crunch. To refresh waffle bowls, toast in a 350°F oven for 2-3 minutes. Dulce de leche should be warmed gently to maintain creamy texture. For gluten-free or vegan versions, substitute flour and dairy/eggs accordingly.
