Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Mixture

  • 1/2 Cup Unsweetened cocoa powder (50g/2oz)
  • 1/3 Cup Chopped semi-sweet dark chocolate (60g/2oz)
  • 1 1/2 Cup Milk (360ml/12fl oz)
  • 2 Large Egg yolks
  • 1/4 Cup Vegetable oil (50ml/2fl oz)

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 Cup All-purpose flour (150g/5oz)
  • 2 teaspoons Baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 Cup Sugar (100g/3.5oz)

Meringue

  • 4 Large Egg whites

Instructions

  1. Melt Chocolate: Place the cocoa powder and chopped dark chocolate in a large bowl. Bring the milk to a simmer and pour it over the chocolate. Whisk gently until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
  2. Add Yolks and Oil: Stir in the vegetable oil followed by the egg yolks until fully combined, creating a rich chocolate batter.
  3. Sift Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Gradually add this dry mixture to the chocolate batter and mix just until blended, taking care not to overmix to keep the waffles light.
  4. Whip Egg Whites: In another clean large bowl, whip the egg whites until a thick, opaque meringue forms. This step adds airiness and lightness to the batter.
  5. Fold in Meringue: Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the chocolate batter, carefully incorporating air to maintain the light texture.
  6. Cook Waffles: Preheat a waffle maker over medium heat. Pour approximately one cup of batter onto the waffle iron and cook for about 3 minutes on each side, or until the waffles are crisp and cooked through.

Notes

  • Do not over-mix the batter after adding dry ingredients to keep waffles tender and light.
  • Ensure egg whites are whipped to stiff peaks for the best texture.
  • Use medium heat on the waffle maker to avoid burning while achieving a crisp exterior.
  • Serve waffles immediately for optimum crispiness; cooling may soften them.
  • Optionally, add fresh berries or whipped cream as toppings.
