Creating your very own Strawberry Cheesecake Stuffed Waffles is simple, especially when you follow these step-by-step instructions:

1. Prepare the Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly grease with cooking spray or butter.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter until smooth.

4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.

5. Make Cheesecake Filling: In a separate bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.

6. Add Strawberries: Gently fold in the chopped strawberries into the cheesecake mixture.

7. Cooking the Waffles: Pour a portion of the waffle batter into the preheated waffle iron, enough to cover the bottom.

8. Add Filling: Spoon a dollop of the cheesecake filling over the batter, ensuring it stays in the center.

9. Top with More Batter: Pour another layer of waffle batter over the cheesecake filling.

10. Close and Cook: Close the waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually about 3-5 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.

11. Let Cool: Carefully remove the waffles and let them cool slightly on a wire rack while you repeat the process with the remaining batter and filling.

12. Serve: Slice the waffles if desired and serve warm, drizzled with syrup or whipped cream for an extra treat.
