Waffles with strawberries and whipped cream are a classic dessert originating from European cuisine, popularized in Belgium and often enjoyed globally. Waffles are typically made from a batter of flour, milk, eggs, and butter, cooked in a waffle iron to create their signature grid texture. The addition of fresh strawberries provides a boost of vitamins and antioxidants, while whipped cream adds sweetness and a creamy texture. A serving contains carbohydrates for energy, small amounts of protein from eggs and milk, and dietary fiber from strawberries. However, it can be moderate to high in sugar and fats depending on preparation, especially if store-bought whipped cream or sweetened waffles are used.
Store cooked waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage. Fresh strawberries should be refrigerated and consumed within 2-3 days.
A waffle with strawberries and whipped cream typically contains around 300-400 calories per serving, depending on the size of the waffle and the quantity of toppings. Strawberries add about 50 calories per half-cup, and a two-tablespoon serving of whipped cream contributes an additional 25-30 calories.
Traditional waffles are not keto-friendly due to their high carbohydrate content (20-30 grams per waffle) from flour and sugar. However, you can make a keto version by using almond or coconut flour for the waffle, unsweetened whipped cream, and minimal strawberries as they are low in carbs (about 1 gram of net carbs per strawberry).
Waffles with strawberries and whipped cream can be part of a balanced diet if consumed in moderation. Strawberries are rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, but the waffle and whipped cream are often high in added sugar and refined carbohydrates, which can lead to blood sugar spikes. Opting for whole-grain waffles and homemade whipped cream can make this dish healthier.
A recommended portion would be one medium-sized waffle (approximately 6 inches in diameter), half a cup of sliced strawberries, and two tablespoons of whipped cream. This balance helps manage calorie and sugar intake while still enjoying the dish.
Waffles and pancakes with strawberries and whipped cream are nutritionally similar, though waffles usually have slightly more calories and fat due to the batter's higher butter or oil content. Pancakes may have a softer texture, while waffles provide a crunchier alternative with pockets that hold the toppings better.
