FAQs

A croffle is made from croissant dough, pressed in a waffle maker to create a crisp, flaky waffle/croissant hybrid. Unlike regular waffles, croffles are buttery and layered, giving them a light, pastry-like crunch. They’re also less dense than traditional waffles, making them perfect for toppings without feeling too heavy.

Popular croffle toppings for Christmas include festive favourites like spiced maple syrup, fresh berries, crushed candy canes, cinnamon sugar, or a drizzle of melted chocolate. This version features fresh fruit, pistachios, maple syrup and more, but you can also try toppings like whipped cream, roasted nuts or even a scoop of brandy custard for a dessert-style twist. Croffles are endlessly versatile, making them perfect for festive brunches, sweet platters or holiday snacking. No two need to be the same.

Yes! If you have a waffle press, they’re one of the easiest treats to make. Just slice croissants, press them in the waffle maker and get creative with toppings. It’s the perfect snack or breakfast idea you can whip up in minutes. Plus, you can make them sweet or savoury depending on what you have in the fridge.
