The Best Ever Chocolate Chaffle Recipe
It’s no secret that chaffles are my favorite keto thing. I’ve made quite a few chocolate chaffles already on this blog but this one right here? This is the best ever chocolate chaffle recipe. You’ve got to try it.

These are soft yet firm, not too sweet and with the perfect blend of cocoa powder to almond flour to give it just the right flavor. I also used cream cheese in this recipe because it’s my favorite cheese to use in sweet chaffle recipes. It gives off a nice texture that’s soft and pliable instead of a crunchy finish.
I finally bought a Dash Mini Waffle Maker to make my chaffles and holy cow why did I wait so long? It truly is the perfect little machine to give you cute little round waffles that are the perfect proportion every time. If you need help with portion control, get you one.
In fact, this is my second one as I bought a heart-shaped one to make cute cheesy heart-shaped waffles for my honey’s birthday. I will be buying a second regular round-shaped Dash Mini so that I can whip up a big batch when I need to because these waffles freeze very well. All you need to do is stick them in an air fryer to crisp right up without any sogginess.
Tips for the Best Chocolate Chaffle
For this recipe you’ll need:
- 2 tablespoons sugar-free cocoa powder (I used this one)
- 1 tablespoon almond flour
- 1 tablespoon erythritol
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- pinch of pink salt
- 1 ounce cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
I recommend placing everything in a blender or using a handheld immersion blender as I do for all my cream cheese chaffle recipes. The blender eliminates chunks of cream cheese in your waffle.
Notes
I also recommend placing these on a cooling rack for a few minutes when you remove them from the waffle iron. This gives them the opportunity to firm up without becoming soggy or limp since chaffles made with cream cheese are very soft and cake-like in texture.
Feel free to add sugar-free chocolate chips in these to make a delicious keto double chocolate chip waffle.
This recipe made 7 mini waffles for me, though there was overspill on my first two attempts so I’m sure you’ll be able to make 8 if you’re more careful. This gives you the perfect pairing to stuff them like my Red Velvet Whoopie Pie Chaffles.
