Waffle Freshness
Use freshly made waffles for the best texture and flavor. Slightly warm waffles are ideal, as they allow the Dulce de Leche to melt slightly and become even more luscious.
Dulce de Leche Quality
Opt for high-quality Dulce de Leche, as the flavor will significantly impact the overall experience. Authentic Argentine or Brazilian Dulce de Leche is recommended.
Optional Toppings
Enhance the dish with complementary toppings such as whipped cream, fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries), shaved chocolate, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
Dulce de Leche Temperature
The best way to spread the Dulce de Leche is to slightly warm it, but do not let it become too hot. This will allow for easy spreading, a smooth application, and will not make the waffle soggy.
