The history of the Belgian waffle dates back to the Middle Ages, where cooks in the region of Belgium used to prepare these delicious treats for royalty and nobility. The modern version of the Belgian waffle that we know today gained popularity in the 1960s at the World's Fair in New York. Topped with fresh strawberries and whipped cream, this dish has become a beloved classic, combining the crispiness of the waffle with the sweetness of the strawberries and the lightness of the whipped cream. In Belgium, renowned chefs and local eateries take pride in perfecting the art of making the best Belgian waffles. The city of Brussels, in particular, is famous for its waffle stands that offer a variety of toppings, including the classic combination of fresh strawberries and whipped cream. For the best version of this dish, head to Brussels and indulge in the authentic Belgian waffle experience. The key to getting this dish right lies in the waffle itself - it should be crispy on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside. The strawberries should be ripe and juicy, adding a burst of freshness, while the whipped cream should be delicately whipped to perfection, adding a creamy and airy finish to the waffle. Alternatively, for those looking to recreate this dish at home, consider using pearl sugar in the waffle batter to achieve that signature caramelized crunch, and opt for freshly whipped cream and locally sourced strawberries for an authentic touch.
