Pro Tips

🔸 Don’t overfill – Too much cheesecake can make croffles soggy.
🔸 Use Pillsbury dough – It’s buttery and bakes perfectly in waffle irons.
🔸 No waffle iron? Use a panini press or skillet (flatten with a spatula).

Variations

🍫 Nutella-Stuffed – Swap cheesecake for chocolate-hazelnut spread.
🍓 Berry Bliss – Top with macerated strawberries.
🥥 Tropical Twist – Add coconut flakes and mango chunks.
