The dish offers a delightful combination of sweet, rich, and slightly tangy flavors, with contrasting textures.
The Belgian waffle provides a slightly sweet, yeasty, and buttery foundation. Fresh strawberries contribute a burst of juicy sweetness and a balancing acidity. Nutella adds a deep, chocolatey, and hazelnut-rich sweetness that coats the palate. The crispness of the waffle contrasts beautifully with the soft strawberries and the creamy Nutella.
Premium Feature
Freshness Matters
Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and texture. Avoid using frozen strawberries if possible, as they can become mushy.
Warm Waffle
Serve the waffle warm, ideally fresh off the waffle iron, for optimal crispness and a more enjoyable contrast with the cool strawberries and creamy Nutella.
Nutella Tempering
Slightly warm the Nutella before spreading it on the waffle to make it easier to apply and create a smoother texture. Be careful not to overheat it.
Presentation is Key
Arrange the strawberries artfully on the waffle and drizzle the Nutella evenly for an appealing visual presentation.
