Norwegian Waffles with Dairy-Free Brown Cheese Caramel

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup Sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt
• 1 1/2 cups Dairy-free milk
• 2 Eggs
• 1/4 cup Dairy-free butter, melted
• 4 ounces Dairy-free brown cheese
• 1/2 cup Coconut cream
• 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Instructions

1. 1In a large mixing bowl, combine the 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup of sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they are well combined.
2. 2In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the 1 1/2 cups of dairy-free milk, 2 eggs, and 1/4 cup of melted dairy-free butter until fully blended.
3. 3Pour the wet ingredients from the medium bowl into the large bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently whisk until the batter is just combined and no dry streaks of flour remain; avoid overmixing, as this can make waffles tough.
4. 4Preheat your waffle iron to a medium-high setting, typically between 375°F (190°C) and 400°F (200°C), until the indicator light signals it is ready. Pour about 1/2 cup of batter per waffle onto the hot waffle iron, close the lid, and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.
5. 5While the waffles are cooking, begin preparing the caramel sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the 4 ounces of dairy-free brown cheese over low heat, stirring occasionally, until it is mostly liquid and smooth, which should take about 3-5 minutes.
6. 6Stir in the 1/2 cup of coconut cream and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract into the melted cheese. Continue to cook over low heat, stirring constantly, for 5-7 minutes, until the sauce is smooth, evenly combined, and has thickened to a caramel-like consistency.
7. 7Serve the hot Norwegian waffles immediately, drizzled generously with the warm dairy-free brown cheese caramel sauce.
