The nutritionist at the royal palace in Belgium, Jean Fauxmieuxmanger, advised the King and Queen to switch to a vegan diet.  The challenge for Chef Michel Dubongoût at the Royal Cuisine was clear: Take the original recipe of the liège waffle and give it a vegan twist. Sure enough, le Chef nailed it, and neither the King nor the Queen could ever tell the difference.  This box contains 8 liège waffles and 8 mini waffles we just call them "wafelinis", all vegan style. 

This recipe uses 100% vegan ingredients but may contain traces of non-vegan recipes given that they're cooked on the same waffle irons.

 

Type

What do I get?

  • 8 x liège wafels
  • 8 x wafelinis

When will I get it?

  • Shipping to NYC Tri-State: 

Orders received on Monday through Friday BEFORE our 11am cut-off, ship the same day. Orders received after the 11am cut-off, or during the holidays/weekend, will ship the next business day . Our standard shipping service is Fedex Ground or Fedex Express Saver, typically 2 business days in the tri-state.


  • Nationwide, beyond the NYC Tri-State:

We ship Monday through Wednesday, except holidays, so that your product doesn’t “sit” over the weekend. We recommend that for all nationwide orders, you select a delivery day that is 2-4 business days ahead of your desired date for an on-time arrival.

How do I store / prepare it?

Fridge: when received (and not immediately devoured),  store your waffles in the fridge and enjoy them within 10 days of the ordering date. 

Freezer: you may also store your waffles (airtight) in the freezer and spread the joy for up to two months. 

How to reheat: there aren’t many things the Queen and King agree on, but they do share an aversion to microwaving wafels! Here’s the royal way to warm them up, from room temperature:

In the oven, for 10 minutes at 300 °F
In the toaster, at lowest (warming) setting - for two cycles

No need to reheat the chocolinis, they are meant to be eaten at room temperature.

Topping with dinges:

At the Belgian Wafel Academy, many Master & PhD courses are dedicated to this topic. There are many rules, and Belgians are very strict about their “dinges” rules. Here in America however, we can put as many toppings as we like. We’d recommend our signature spekuloos spread, Belgian chocolate fudge, whipped cream and fresh strawberries or bananas. Listen to your inner dinges voice! 

Once opened, our spreads jars remains great for at least 6 weeks. Although, to give them a long and happy life we recommend to store them in the fridge.  Stir the contents well before spreading the goodness!

Should I count the calories?

The approximate calorie count is 190 cal for a wafelini and 380 cal for a traditional Liège wafel, but you know what they say: "Don’t count the calories, just make the calories count!"    

I’m seeing dark spots on the edge of my wafels, did you burn them? Our wafels are made the traditional way with imported pearl sugar. The melted / boiling sugar in our irons can leave caramelized (darker) spots. This is a good thing, typical for Liège wafels
