Easy Croffle Recipe
Croissant waffles, that is a croffle! This mashup of croissant and waffle means with each bite you get not only the flaky layers of a croissant but the crispy exterior of a waffle.
They are easy to make with my simple croffle hack. All you need are some sugar and crescent rolls, puff pastry dough, premade croissant dough from Whole Foods or frozen mini croissants from Trader Joe’s. Then just press and fill or top them how you like.
What is a Croffle?
This South Korean cafe style treat is really just a croissant or crescent roll cooked in a waffle iron. All you need to make croffles at home are crescent rolls and a waffle maker.
A croissant waffles has the tender, flaky layers of a croissant but cooks up crispy and golden on the exterior. It’s the best breakfast mashup.
Ingredient Notes
- Crescent Rolls: Refrigerated crescent rolls work great! I used Pillsbury. Other options include puff pastry, homemade croissant pastry, refrigerated croissant dough or frozen croissant dough.
- Sugar: I like to roll my croffles in sugar. Cinnamon sugar is delicious too!
Croffle Fillings and Toppings
- Sweet fillings: Try Nutella, peanut butter or Mascarpone with thinly diced fruit . Chocolate chips, banana slices or jam also work for a sweet snack!
- Savory croffle fillings: Try brie, prosciutto, ham and cheese, cream cheese, scrambled eggs, beans and cheese for a taco version or even diced pepperoni and cheese!
- Croffles Toppings: Take these croissant waffles to the next level with whipped cream, honey, a drizzle of maple syrup, strawberries or powdered sugar.
- Dessert: Add some chocolate sauce and ice cream!
How to Make Croffles
- Prep: Roll out your unbaked croissant dough or crescent roll dough.
- Add fillings: Add fillings, if desired, being careful not to overstuff the croffle. Gently roll up each piece of triangle dough.
- Cook: Place the croissants into preheated waffle iron. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.
- Top: Get as fancy as you like with desired toppings. Favorites include syrup, fresh fruit, and powdered sugar.
Storage Instructions
- Store: Store leftovers in a covered airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To freeze: Flash freeze croffles first on a parchment lined baking pan. Transfer to a freezer safe bag and freeze for up 3 months.
- Reheat: Reheat in a toaster oven or microwave until warm. If frozen, thaw first overnight in the fridge.
