    Prep Time 3 hours
    Cook Time 5 minutes
    Total Time 3 hours 5 minutes
    Servings 12 servings (up to)
        ✓ Read the recipe from beginning to end
          ✓ Check oven calibration
            ✓ Check expiration dates
              ✓ Properly measure ingredients
                ✓ Check butter temperature

    Ingredients
      

    • 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.
      Oil or other 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.
