Waffle with Strawberries and Whipped Cream

By Marna Ross Updated 12 August 2026 4.43 from 21 ratings
When I was small, I begged my mom to buy us a waffle machine! And with great luck, she did! I remember being thrilled about it and used to help on Saturday afternoons to make waffles for us as a family. It is with good memories that I share this lovely waffle with strawberries and whipped cream recipe with you. On the fruits side - you can add a few blueberries too inf you have.This is also a lovely breakfast idea for the kids or the breakfast waffle with seasonal fruits. Pansie flowers on top will make it look even prettier! For more breakfast options with fruits, try the healthy granola, yogurt and fruit parfait.
