Ingredients
(Based on 1x column)
Croffle Base & S’mores Filling:
- ▢ 1 tube (8 oz) refrigerated croissant dough (crescent roll dough also works)
- ▢ ¼ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ▢ ¼ cup mini marshmallows
Cheesecake Filling:
- ▢ 2 oz cream cheese, softened
- ▢ 1 tbsp powdered sugar
- ▢ ½ tsp vanilla extract
Toppings & Garnish:
- ▢ 1 graham cracker, crushed (for dusting)
- ▢ Melted chocolate (approx. ¼ cup chocolate chips melted, for drizzle)
- ▢ Extra mini marshmallows (for topping, toasted if desired)
Instructions
1. Prepare Waffle Iron and Ingredients:
- Preheat your waffle iron according to its manufacturer’s instructions.
- Open the tube of croissant dough and unroll it. If it’s perforated into triangles (like crescent rolls), you can either use individual triangles or gently press perforations together to form larger rectangles if your waffle iron is big enough for a stuffed/folded croffle. The recipe implies folding dough over.
- In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix with a spoon or small spatula until smooth and well combined. Set aside.
- Have your chocolate chips and mini marshmallows ready. Crush the graham cracker into fine crumbs and set aside for garnish. Melt a small amount of additional chocolate for drizzling later if desired.
2. Assemble the Croffles:
- Take a portion of croissant dough suitable for one section of your waffle iron (e.g., one triangle if using crescent rolls, or a rectangle you can fold).
- On one half of the dough piece, sprinkle some of the semi-sweet chocolate chips and mini marshmallows.
- Add a dollop (about 1-2 teaspoons, depending on dough size) of the prepared sweetened cream cheese mixture on top of the chips and marshmallows.
- Carefully fold the other half of the croissant dough over the filling, pressing the edges gently to seal them as best as possible (some leakage is okay and often delicious!).
3. Cook the Croffles:
- Place the assembled, filled croissant dough packet onto the preheated waffle iron.
- Close the waffle iron lid and cook according to your waffle iron’s instructions, typically for 3-5 minutes, or until the croffle is golden brown, crispy, and cooked through. The chocolate and marshmallows will be melty, and the cream cheese will be warm and gooey.
- Carefully remove the cooked croffle from the waffle iron using tongs or a fork.
- Repeat with the remaining croissant dough and fillings to make more croffles.
4. Garnish and Serve:
- While the croffles are still warm, drizzle them with melted chocolate.
- Sprinkle generously with the crushed graham cracker crumbs.
- Top with a few extra mini marshmallows (you can briefly toast these with a kitchen torch if you have one and desire that authentic toasted marshmallow flavor, or just add them as is).
- Serve the S’mores Cheesecake Croffles immediately while warm, gooey, and crispy!
