Prepare Sweetened Whipped Cream

1. Beat heavy cream on high and gradually add in sugar and vanilla until whipped cream is formed. You want it someone on the stiffer side.

2. Divide dough into 8-10 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball.
3. Place on greased waffle iron and cook until golden brown in color.
4. I spread Nutella over my warm waffle, topped with Sweetened whipped cream sliced strawberries but the options are completely up to you!
