Ingredients with Measurements

10–12 mini waffles
6–8 fresh strawberries
2 ripe bananas
150 g chocolate cream (for melting)
6–8 wooden skewers
Optional: powdered sugar for dusting

Step-by-Step Directions

Prepare your ingredients by washing the strawberries and slicing off the stems. Peel the bananas and cut them into thick slices.
If your mini waffles are large, cut them into bite-sized pieces for easier skewering.
Melt the chocolate cream using a double boiler. Stir gently until smooth and glossy.
Take a wooden skewer and begin assembling: start with a strawberry, then a waffle piece, followed by a banana slice.
Repeat the pattern until the skewer is full, leaving a small space at the bottom for holding.
Place the assembled skewers on a serving plate.
Drizzle the melted chocolate generously over each skewer or serve it on the side as a dipping sauce.
Optional: lightly dust with powdered sugar for an elegant finish.
Serve immediately while the chocolate is still warm and delicious.
