Instructions

1. Prepare the Waffle Batter

   In a mixing bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl beat the eggs with the milk and melted butter, then fold in the mashed raspberries. Combine wet and dry mixtures until just incorporated; a few lumps are fine.

   Time: PT5M

2. Preheat the Waffle Iron

   Plug in the waffle iron and set it to medium‑high (about 190°C). Allow it to heat for 5 minutes until the indicator shows it’s ready.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: 190°C

3. Cook the Waffles

   Lightly grease the iron with butter or non‑stick spray. Pour enough batter to cover the surface, close the lid, and cook 3–4 minutes until golden brown and crisp.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: 190°C

4. Blend Banana Peanut Butter Ice Cream Base

   In the blender combine peeled bananas, milk, peanut butter, and ice cubes. Blend on high until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute.

   Time: PT5M

5. Freeze the Ice Cream

   Transfer the blended mixture to a freezer‑safe bowl, cover, and place in the freezer. After 1 hour stir once to break ice crystals, then freeze for another hour until firm.

   Time: PT2H

6. Make Chocolate Sauce

   In a saucepan melt milk chocolate over low heat, adding a splash of milk to keep it glossy. Stir continuously until fully liquid and smooth.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: 50°C

7. Assemble the Dessert

   Place a warm waffle on a serving plate. Drizzle chocolate sauce over the surface, add a generous scoop of the banana‑peanut butter ice cream, then drizzle strawberry sauce. Sprinkle heart‑shaped and chocolate sprinkles, scatter toasted nuts, and arrange Kinder Bueno shards. Finish with a drizzle of honey, a dollop of whipped cream, and a few halved marshmallows on top.

   Time: PT5M

8. Enjoy

   Serve the decorated waffles while the ice cream is still firm and the chocolate sauce is glossy. Encourage guests to dig in and enjoy the mix of textures.
