Contains no common allergens unless specified.

Ingredients

  • 8 gluten
  • free stroopwafels
  • 1 cup (200g) mascarpone cheese, at room temperature
  • 4 tbsp (60g) powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp (5ml) pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp (1g) ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tbsp (30g) honey

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated and you have a smooth, creamy filling. Gently spread about 1 tablespoon (15g) of the creamy mixture on one side of each stroopwafel. Be careful not to spread it too close to the edges to avoid any filling seeping out during assembly. Carefully place another stroopwafel on top of the filled ones, creating a sandwich with the filling in between. Press down slightly to help the two halves adhere together. If desired, use a sharp knife to cut each sandwich into quarters or halves for individual servings.

Chef’s Insight

The key to perfecting this gluten-free Dutch snack is in the delicate balance of flavors and textures. Be sure not to overfill or underfill the stroopwafels, and enjoy every mouthful!

Notes

Ensure you use gluten-free stroopwafels for a truly gluten-free experience.

Cultural or Historical Background

Stroopwafels originated in the Netherlands during the 18th century and have since become a beloved dessert and snack. Traditional versions are made with caramelized sugar syrup sandwiched between two thin waffle-like cookies, making them irresistibly sweet and crispy.
