    Caramel Banana Waffle Dessert

    Published: Apr 20, '17 Β· Modified: Feb 13, '23 Β· By: Beth Klosterboer Β· This post may contain affiliate links.

    I topped Kellogg's Eggo Thick & Fluffy Original Waffles with caramelized bananas, caramel cheesecake mousse, whipped topping, and a chocolate-dipped Eggo Minis Waffle to make the most amazing Caramel Banana Waffle Dessert.

    Top a Kellogg's Eggo Thick & Fluffy Original Waffle with Caramelized Bananas, Caramel Mousse, Whipped Topping, and a Chocolate Dipped Eggo Minis Waffle and you have the most decadent Caramel Banana Waffle Dessert.

    Doesn't that look amazing?

    Believe me, it was the most scrumptious dessert I've ever created using a waffle.

    I love making waffle desserts. As a kid, one of my absolute favorite treats to enjoy after school or swim team practice was an orange sherbet waffle sandwich. I'd take two toasted Eggo Buttermilk Waffles and sandwich orange sherbet in between them. The contrast of the warm crispy waffles with the chilly citrus sherbet was a winner in my book.

    I still enjoy that treat on occasion, but now as an adult, I prefer something a bit more sumptuous.

    Top a Kellogg's Eggo Thick & Fluffy Original Waffle with Caramelized Bananas, Caramel Mousse, Whipped Topping, and a Chocolate Dipped Eggo Minis Waffle and you have the most decadent Caramel Banana Waffle Dessert.

    To make these dreamy Caramel Banana Waffle Desserts I took a Kellogg's Eggo Thick & Fluffy Original Waffle and toasted it so that it was crispy on the outside and light and tender on the inside then topped it with caramelized bananas, a Dulce de Leche (caramel) cheesecake mousse, a bit of whipped topping, and chocolate dipped Eggo Minis Waffle.

    Decadent? Yes! Delicious? Of course! Wonderful?Β You bet!

    I just love waffles and could eat them for any meal. They really are a blank canvas on which you can create sweet and savory dishes.

    Chocolate dipped Eggo Minis Waffles.

    This dessert does require a few preparation steps, but none of them require a whole lot of time.

    You want to start by dipping some Eggo Minis Waffles in chocolate. You can use pure chocolate or confectionery coating. Check out my Chocolate Making Tips tutorial for instructions on melting.

    Toast the waffles then allow them to cool to room temperature before dipping them in the chocolate. Chill until the chocolate hardens then set aside while making the mousse.

    Cheesecake Dulce de Leche Mousse Recipe

    To make the caramel cheesecake mousse you simply mix softened cream cheese with Dulce de Leche and whipped topping.

    If you've never had Dulce de Leche, it'sΒ caramelized sweetened condensed milk that is available in cans or jars at the supermarket. It has a thick, silky texture and lovely caramel flavor and when mixed with cream cheese and whipped topping makes a luxurious caramel cheesecake mousse.

    The mousse would make a great waffle topping all on its own, but it's even better topped with caramelized bananas.

    Caramelized bananas recipe.

    To make the caramelized bananas, start by melting butter and brown sugar until it caramelizes then toss in fresh slices of bananas along with a dash of orange juice. Cook the bananas until the sauce thickens and the bananas are well coated in the caramel. Depending on your stove and cookware this whole process can take between 5 to 10 minutes.

    While the bananas are cooking, pop all the waffles from an Eggo Thick & Fluffy Original Waffles, 6ct box in the toaster, and heat until crisp.

    How to assemble the most amazing Waffle Dessert. Eggo Thick & Fluffy Original Waffles are toasted then topped with caramelized bananas, caramel mousse, whipped topping, and a chocolate dipped Eggo Minis Waffle.

    When the Eggo Waffles are toasted and the bananas are caramelized you are ready for assembly.

    Lay a waffle on a plate then spoon on β…™th of the banana slices (Β½ of a banana). Scoop up some of the gooey caramel sauce and drizzle it over the waffle. Top the bananas with β…™th of the caramel mousse then add a dollop or swirl of whipped topping. To top off this decadent dessert, add one of the chocolate-dipped Eggo Minis Waffles.

    Watch this video tutorial to see how easy they are to make.
