Luxardo Cheesecake Stuffed Waffles
It is Thursday and I cleared my morning schedule.
My friend Somer and I have a Virtual Breakfast date again!
For our original Virtual Breakfast, we also had waffles - I made perfect vanilla waffles that day.
When I asked her yesterday about having another virtual date, Somer answered with, "waffles!"
Like, didn't skip a beat. I think waffles were her idea the first time too. HA.
Fancy Brunch Recipe
Because Valentines is next week, because I have brunch on my mind, because Somer said waffles and I looked across the room and I saw my husband's jar of Luxardo cherries on the bar...
and because I have not made one of my stuffed waffles in a while.
and they worked! I am always amazed when a stuffed waffle comes out right. This one only took two tries.
Then, because I was hungry and in a hurry to snap a few photos, I uh...
knocked over the Luxardo jar.
*GASP*
RATS.
I quickly scooped it up, saving most of the cherries and some of the syrup.
Enough syrup to use as a waffle topping or a Luxardo whiskey recipe for later...
Cheers, Somer! Cheers, everyone!

Luxardo Cheesecake Stuffed Waffles
A fancy brunch, a Valentines breakfast, or a virtual breakfast date with a friend - you want these on your menu!
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Luxardo cherries
- 1-2 tablespoons cherry syrup
- 3-4 tablespoons dairy free cream cheese
- 1 cup gluten free all purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons vegan granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- ½ tablespoon baking powder
- ⅓ cup dairy free milk
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- ½ cup club soda
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine cherries, cherry syrup, and cream cheese. Stir to combine, mashing cherries slightly and leaving some cream cheese pieces. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together flour, sugar, cornstarch, and baking powder. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, stir together milk and apple cider vinegar. Add this milk mixture and club soda to dry ingredients. Stir until just combined.
- Pour a small amount (¼ to ⅓ cup, depending on size of iron) into prepared / hot waffle iron. Wait just a bit, so the waffle begins to set on the bottom.
- Add cherry cheesecake filling to the middle (leaving an inch or so border). Add another scoop of batter, just enough to cover completely.
- Close and cook per machine instructions. I cooked mine about 3-4 minutes on one side, flipping and cooking another minute (using a waffle iron that flips).
- Repeat with remaining waffle batter and filling. Serve warm with cherry syrup.
Notes
dairy, egg, soy, oil, and gluten free, vegan

Wow, this waffle looks amazing! I've never had stuffed waffles before, but I may just need to try these very soon. My husband loves a good cherry filling, I know he's going to love this.
