Ingredients
  

Waffle Ingredients
  • 1 box dry chocolate cake mix Provides the base flavor and sweetness for the waffles.
  • 1 large egg Binds the ingredients and adds richness.
  • 1/4 cup neutral oil (like grapeseed) Adds moisture and contributes to a tender texture.
  • 1 cup water Adjusts the batter consistency for the perfect waffle.
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips Enhance the chocolate flavor with little bursts of sweetness.
Blackberry Sauce Ingredients
  • 1 cup fresh blackberries Used for creating a fresh and vibrant sauce.
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar Helps sweeten the blackberry sauce.
  • 1 tablespoon creme de cassis (optional) Adds a depth of flavor with a fruity twist.
Serving Suggestions
  • 4 scoops ice cream Perfect for serving, it adds a creamy texture and indulgence.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the waffle iron to the highest setting to ensure crispy waffles.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the cake mix, egg, oil, water, and chocolate chips until smooth.
Cooking
  1. Pour half a cup of batter into the preheated waffle iron for each waffle.
  2. Close the iron and cook until waffles are done, checking for a crispy exterior.
  3. In a small skillet, combine blackberries, sugar, and a splash of water, simmering until blackberries collapse into a sauce, about five minutes.
  4. Stir in the creme de cassis if desired for an additional layer of flavor.
Serving
  1. Scoop ice cream over each waffle and generously top with the blackberry sauce.

Notes

For extra flavor, replace some water with milk when making the batter. Don't overfill the waffle iron to avoid overflow. Cooked waffles can be kept warm in a 200°F oven.
