Are you looking for easy-to-make cheesecake with no baking, no chilling, simple recipe with no barriers – this cake is for you! And remember nothing beats warm waffled cheesecake hot off the press. Nothing. This will generously serve four people, exactly four Belgian waffles. When the waffle is warm, the cheesecake is puffy and light, but after it is chilled it becomes denser - just like regular cheesecake! All cheesecake accoutrements are welcome to this waffle party: salted caramel sauce and powdered sugar, strawberries, whipped cream, lemon curd, chocolate syrup - you name it!

This recipe is written for use with a Belgian waffle maker. If you use a regular waffle maker, use the amount of batter recommended in the manufacturer's instructions. Adjust to the batter as needed.

Ingredients:
  • 16 ounces soft cream cheese
  • 4 eggs at room temperature
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup cake flour
  • Pinch of salt
  • Cooking spray
  • Powdered sugar
Directions:

  1. Place the cream cheese and eggs in a large bowl. Beat together with an electric mixer at medium speed until well combined. Add the lemon juice and vanilla extract; mix again briefly to combine.
  2. Add the sugar, flour and salt. Beat again until combined, about 2 minutes. Let the cheesecake batter rest while your Belgian waffle iron preheats.
  3. Coat the hot waffle irons with cooking spray (I used olive oil spray because it's what I had on hand, but a neutral-tasting oil like canola is an even better choice). Pour 1 cup of batter onto the irons and close the waffle maker lid. Let cook until the mixture stops steaming and the indicator light (or timer) indicates the waffle is done. Open the lid and remove the waffle with a fork. The cheesecake will be tender, so you may have to remove the waffle a quarter at a time.
  4. Top warm waffled cheesecake with powdered sugar and your choice of toppings. I suggest any of these: salted caramel sauce, lemon curd, chocolate syrup, whipped cream, fresh strawberries.

Enjoy!
