Instructions

Prepare the cheesecake filling: In a small bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the crushed cookies, then set the mixture aside.
Assemble the croffles: Unroll the croissant dough and separate it into individual triangles. Place about a tablespoon of the cheesecake filling onto the center of each triangle. Fold or roll the dough over the filling, sealing the edges well to prevent filling leakage during cooking.
Heat the waffle iron: Preheat your waffle iron to a medium-high setting and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Cook the croffles: Place each filled dough triangle onto the waffle iron carefully. Close the iron and cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until the croffles are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Cool and garnish: Carefully remove the croffles from the waffle iron and let them cool slightly for a few minutes. Dust with powdered sugar, sprinkle extra crushed cookies, drizzle melted chocolate, or add fresh berries as desired.
Serve and enjoy: Serve the croffles warm for the best taste experience and enjoy this crispy, creamy treat.

Notes

Ensure the croissant dough is properly sealed around the filling to avoid leakage during cooking.
Adjust the powdered sugar amount in the filling to your preferred sweetness.
Use any type of crushed cookies for different flavor variations, such as chocolate chip cookies or peanut butter cookies.
If you don’t have a waffle iron, you can try cooking them in a pan but the texture will vary.
Serve immediately for best crispness as croffles may become softer over time.
