Lemon Ricotta Waffles with Strawberry Compote and Whipped Cream

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
  • Fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced (for compote)
  • Whipped cream (for topping)

Instructions:

Make the Waffles

  1. Preheat your waffle iron to medium-high heat.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, lemon juice, and melted butter.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  5. Fold in the ricotta cheese until smooth.
  6. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the center of the waffle iron and cook for 3-5 minutes or until golden brown.
  7. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the waffle iron between each use.

Make the Strawberry Compote

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine sliced strawberries and granulated sugar.
  2. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries release their juice and start to soften (about 5-7 minutes).
  3. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Prepare the Whipped Cream

  1. Whip heavy cream until soft peaks form.
  2. Add a pinch of confectioners' sugar and continue whipping until stiff peaks form.

Assembly and Serving

  1. Serve the waffles warm, topped with strawberry compote and whipped cream.
  2. Dust with confectioners' sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
