Copycat Waffle Love Liege Waffle Recipe [+ Video]

This copycat Waffle Love liege waffle recipe is the closest we’ve found to our favorite food truck waffles here in Utah using a liege waffle. 

Remember when food trucks started popping up and became all the rage a few years back? The Waffle Love food truck was one of the original food trucks to go crazy here in Utah. They always had a line for days no matter where they were. In fact, they have now opened over a dozen brick and mortar locations in Utah, Idaho and California and their food truck is still going strong!

Waffle Love quickly became the go to family treat truck, date night truck, girls night out truck, and “I’ve got a hankering for something sweet” truck. The waffles are amazing and the little sugary bits really add something to the waffles, but you can’t forget about their awesome toppings which revolve around one of our household favorites, Biscoff. Stinking Biscoff. That stuff rocks our world.

I immediately started working on a copycat recipe so that we could make these irresistible waffles at home. After I figured out the perfect recipe, I posted it and it went crazy! So crazy that the aforementioned company contacted me and asked me to pull my recipe down because it was so close to theirs. Haha…nope! That, my friends, is when you’ve NAILED a copycat recipe! The people need to be able to make these at home, and so you shall!!

While we still love our bacon apple cider waffles, this copycat waffle love recipe is seriously fantastic, and it would be the perfect way to enjoy Christmas morning.

What is a Liège Waffle?

Liège waffles (pronounced “leej”) are a Belgian style waffle made from a yeast dough rather than traditional waffle batter. They are a little sweeter and different in texture once they are cooked.

Liège waffles are different than your normal run of the mill waffle. In fact you really should forget about the taste and texture of the normal breakfast waffle because this one is seriously a totally different taste, but delicious like you wouldn’t believe.

What Ingredients are Needed for Waffle Love Waffles?

Here are the ingredients that you will need to make this liege waffle recipe:

• Whole Milk: scalded, see section below for how to scald milk
• Water: helps activate the yeast
• Sugar: used to both feed the yeast as it activates and to sweeten the liege waffle dough
• Instant Yeast: we prefer instant yeast rather than active dry yeast
• Eggs: adds structure to the waffles
• Unsalted Butter: the fat needed to make these waffles so rich and fluffy
• Honey: adds a little extra natural sweetness and flavor
• Vanilla: adds flavor
• Bread Flour: the combination of bread flour with all purpose is magic
• Flour: just regular

Gooey Biscoff Crumb Bars

These Biscoff crumb bars are crazy rich but I can’t resist them! A thick and chewy cookie base topped with a layer of melty Biscoff spread, then roasted marshmallows and a crunchy crumb topping with a Biscoff drizzle…holy heaven!

We’ve been loving making campfire banana boats this summer and on a whim I made the most delicious Biscoff version. Immediately we all obsessed that it was the best banana boat ever but it didn’t stop there. By the next morning I’d barely slept as I kept dreaming of turning them into a dessert bar.

I debated sooooo much on every aspect of these bars but nothing as much as the base. Finally I decided on a snickerdoodle cookie base and I’m telling you, I am trying so hard to be humble but they are amazing. Even my family agrees, best dessert ever.

That slightly salty crumb topping is essential to balance this overly sweet bar and the marshmallow amount is totally up to you. I like a little less while my kids want more goo!

What is Biscoff?

Biscoff is a spread, similar in texture and consistency to peanut butter, made of ground up Biscoff cookies mixed with fat, flour and sugar.

What Flavor is Biscoff?

Biscoff spread and cookies have a warm caramel-y flavor with hints of brown sugar and cinnamon.

Where to Buy Biscoff?

You can find Biscoff at most grocery stores. I’ve seen it at Kroger stores, Walmart, Target, Trader Joe’s, Harmon’s, etc. You’ll find it either by the peanut butter and other nut butters or on the cookie aisle.

When you find it, grab a jar for this recipe and then grab another one and make our Biscoff stuff snickerdoodle cookies. You’ll thank me later!

Biscoff Snickerdoodle Cookie Explosion Cheesecake

Biscoff Snickerdoodle Cookie Explosion Cheesecake! Because why not combine three awesome things? Perfection!

But… it doesn’t taste like a snickerdoodle cookie, it tastes like a cheesecake with a graham cracker crust and cinnamon sugar. 

That’s what I kept saying as I tried recipe after recipe claiming to be the best snickerdoodle cheesecake all over Pinterest. I get it, a snickerdoodle is basically a plain cookie with a slight tang from the cream of tarter and that cinnamon sugar punch on the outside, so how can you really achieve that in a cheesecake?

Well, you play around a lot and end up with this beauty, Biscoff Snickerdoodle Cookie Explosion Cheesecake. Because why not take a simple cheesecake and make EXTRAORDINARY?! It’s like a cheesecake and Biscoff snickerdoodle exploded in your mouth.

We needed something to really bring that cinnamon sugar cookie taste so we scratched the mere dredging of cinnamon sugar all over the top and went for a streusel instead. Instant cookie oomph.
