This is the chaffle that converts people.
Crispy edges. Soft centre. Chocolatey. Satisfying.
A keto dessert chaffle is what you make when you want something sweet now — without baking, without sugar, and without blowing your carbs for the day.
What Is a Chaffle?
A chaffle is a waffle made primarily from cheese and eggs.
Sounds odd. Works perfectly.
For desserts, the cheese gives structure and crispness, while sweet flavours do the heavy lifting.
Once you make one, it becomes a staple.
Ingredients (Makes 1 Large Chaffle or 2 Small)
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella (low moisture)
- 1 tbsp almond flour
- 1 tbsp keto sweetener (Allulose, erythritol or monk fruit blend)
- 1/2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of baking powder (optional, for lift)
Yo Keto swap: Use low-moisture mozzarella for crisp edges. High-moisture cheese will soften the result.
How to Make a Keto Chocolate Chaffle
1. Heat the waffle maker
Preheat well. A hot waffle maker equals a crisp chaffle.
2. Mix the batter
In a bowl, whisk the egg.
Stir in mozzarella, almond flour, sweetener, cocoa, vanilla and baking powder.
You want a thick, spoonable mix.
3. Cook
Add the mixture to the waffle maker.
Cook for 3–5 minutes until deep brown and crisp.
Do not rush this part.
4. Rest
Let it sit for 1 minute after cooking.
It firms up as it cools.
Optional Keto Toppings
Keep it simple or go full dessert.
- Keto chia seed jam
- Whipped cream or coconut cream
- Sugar-free chocolate sauce
- Mascarpone or cream cheese
- Crushed nuts
Sweet or Crispy? Adjust Like This
- Crispier: add a little more cheese and cook longer
- Softer: add a splash of cream or almond milk
Once you know your waffle maker, you can dial this in perfectly.
