Indulge in the perfect fusion of crispy waffles and creamy cheesecake with these Crispy Cheesecake Cookie Croffles. These delightful treats are made by filling puff pastry with a sweet cream cheese mixture and cooking them to golden perfection in a waffle maker.
Ingredients
Puff Pastry:
1 sheet puff pastry, thawed;
Cream Cheese Filling:
4 ounces cream cheese, softened; 2 tablespoons powdered sugar; 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract;
Toppings:
1/4 cup crushed graham crackers; 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips or cookie crumbles (optional);
Additional:
1 tablespoon melted butter (for brushing); 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Preheat Waffle Maker: Preheat a waffle maker to medium-high heat.
- Prepare Cream Cheese Filling: In a small bowl, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Assemble Croffles: Unroll the puff pastry and cut it into 4 equal squares. Spread the cream cheese mixture, graham crackers, and toppings on each square. Fold over and seal edges.
- Cook Croffles: Brush both sides with melted butter, sprinkle with sugar, and cook in the waffle maker for 4–6 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve: Let cool slightly before serving. Optionally dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with melted chocolate.
Notes

- For a flavor twist, try lemon zest or fruit preserves in the filling.
- Use crescent roll dough for a softer, chewier version.
