Ingredients
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
Fine salt
4 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for brushing waffle iron
1/2 cup sugar
2 large eggs, beaten
Vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, caramel sauce, sprinkles and maraschino cherries, for topping

Directions
Special equipment:
Waffle iron (preferably Belgian style)- Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (to keep cooked waffles warm). Sift together the flour, cocoa powder and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a small bowl; set aside.
- Combine half the chocolate and the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring until melted and smooth, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly. Stir in the sugar and eggs. Add the flour mixture and remaining chocolate and stir until just combined.
- Lightly brush the top and bottom of the waffle iron with butter. Fill the waffle iron about three-quarters of the way full (some waffle iron should still be showing). Close the lid gently and cook until the waffles are cooked through and slightly crispy around the edges, 4 to 6 minutes. Keep the cooked waffles warm in a 200 degrees F oven or covered with foil on a plate while you make the remaining waffles.
- Top each waffle with ice cream, whipped cream, caramel sauce, sprinkles and a cherry, if desired.
Cook’s Note
The waffles can be frozen in resealable plastic bags for up to 1 month. Reheat in a toaster oven or 300 degrees F oven until warmed through and crisp.
