Ingredients

Waffle Rolls (about 30 rolls)

  • 4 medium eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 200 g (7 oz) unsalted butter or margarine, melted and cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla sugar or vanilla extract (optional)

Cream Filling

  • 1½ cans dulce de leche (about 525–600 g)
  • 200 g (7 oz) unsalted butter, softened and cut into cubes
  • 2 teaspoons Amaretto or rum (optional, for flavor)
  • Walnuts (optional)

Instructions

1. Make the Batter

In a large bowl, beat the eggs with sugar until pale and slightly fluffy. Add the melted butter and mix until fully incorporated. Stir in vanilla.

Gradually add the flour and mix just until smooth. The batter should be fluid but not runny.

Cover the butter with plastic wrap and heat it in the microwave in 30-second intervals

2. Bake the Waffle Sheets

Preheat the waffle iron. Spoon batter onto the center (amount depends on your waffle iron). Close and bake until golden, about 1 minute.

3. Shape the Tubes

While the waffle is still hot and flexible, quickly roll it around a foil cone or metal mold to form a tube. Hold for a few seconds until it sets. Repeat with remaining batter.💡 Tip: Work fast — once cooled, the waffles become crisp and will break if rolled later

4. Make the Cream Filling

Beat the softened butter on medium speed until pale and fluffy (about 3–4 minutes). Gradually add the dulce de leche and beat until smooth. Add Amaretto or rum if using.

The cream should be thick, smooth, and pipeable.

5. Fill the Waffle Rolls

Transfer the cream to a piping bag. Pipe the filling into each waffle roll from both sides to ensure even filling.

You can also add nuts. Walnuts, peanuts, or pecans work well here — chop them finely and coat each cookie on both sides.

Tips for Success

  • Use room-temperature eggs and butter for best texture.
  • If waffles harden too fast, bake one at a time.
  • Store unfilled waffle rolls in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Filled rolls are best enjoyed within 24–48 hours.
