My first taste of mochi waffles was way back in 2016 on a special dental school graduation trip with my husband and in-laws to Maui.
And let me tell you, it was love at first bite.
I ate them every single day of our trip (and on 4 more trips we took in the coming years).
In 2021, I was pregnant and majorly craving them.
So I spent weeks making dozens of waffles trying to get it just right.
I spent so much time developing this recipe I wore out my waffle maker and I had to order a new one in order to be able to keep working on this recipe (here is a newer version to the one I got).
To say I was determined is an understatement.
And after all that delicious work, I finally created a recipe that tastes as close as we can remember to the ones we had in Maui.
This summer I thought it would be fun to create a Mochi Waffle Cake and of course, I had to use my favorite mochi waffle recipe and my go-to homemade whipped cream recipe!

Mochi Waffles Instructions:

- In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Set to the side.
- Carefully fold the egg whites into the wet ingredients. Then fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
- Scoop the mochi waffle mix into the waffle iron and cook for 2-3 minutes until golden and crispy.
- Repeat step 7 to create five mochi waffles. Set them to the side to cool.
Homemade Whipped Cream Instructions:
