Servings 12 servings (up to)

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1 box Devils Food cake mix, plus ingredients according to the box - see note below
• Oil or other nonstick spray
• Vanilla ice cream

Instructions

 

• Preheat your waffle iron and spray nonstick spray.
• Make cake mix according to the box directions, substituting plain yogurt for the oil and skim milk for the water. It's healthier, and frankly tastier!
• Using a ½ cup measuring cup, scoop a "rounded" ½ cup of mix into your waffle maker.
• Depending on how your waffle maker works, cook the waffle until it's cake-like. You don't want them to be crispy, but a cake-consistency. You'll be surprised how easily they pop out when they're done, and how well they stay together.
• Lay each cooked waffle on a baking rack to cool, and then transfer them over to a sheet of wax paper on a cookie sheet. Keep adding a sheet of wax paper in between each layer until you've made them all.
• Stick those bad boys in the freezer for a few hours.
• When you take them out of the freezer a few hours later they'll still be soft, but they'll be firm enough to hold the ice cream. Now pile on as much ice cream as you want, and INHALE THEM. I dare you not to.

Notes

• I highly recommend substituting yogurt for oil, and skim milk for water.
• Regarding serving sizes:
  12 servings = If you break each waffle into four pieces each.
  6 servings = If you break each waffle into half.
  3 servings = If you're like me, and you just plop whole waffles on top of each other.
