Cream Filled Pizzelles

Cream filled pizzelles.

I ate these for the first time about 5 years ago.

I used to buy them off a woman who sold them to Catullos in Boardman, Ohio.

Something happened after a couple years as I went to buy them : and she hadn’t brought any.

So I had to learn to make them.

Thanks to my mother in law who taught me how to make pizzelle batter.

Now

Let’s start baking!
INGREDIENTS

6 eggs

1 1/2 cup sugar

1 cup butter melted, (2 sticks)

2 teaspoons vanilla

2 1/2 cups flour

4 teaspoons baking powder

1 (8 oz) package cream cheese softened

1/2 – 3/4 can condensed milk

1 teaspoon vanilla

8 oz container Cool Whip or 8 oz of whipped cream
INSTRUCTIONS

Whisk the eggs and the sugar until pale yellow, thick and frothy.
Add the melted and cooled butter and vanilla. Mix to combine. In a separate bowl, whisk the flour and baking powder together. Add to the batter. Mix to combine. Heat the pizzelle press until it’s hot.
Using two small spoons, place about a Tablespoon of batter slightly behind the center of each pizzelle design. The batter will spread forward as it bakes. Bake for a few minutes, just until the pizzelles are slightly golden. Working quickly, wrap the hot pizzelles around a clean marker. You won’t be able to shape them into a cylinder if they cool even a little bit, so work really fast. You don’t need to use a marker, but it’s easier for me that way. Repeat will all the batter.
Meanwhile, to make the filling, using a paddle attachment on a standing mixer or using a hand mixer, cream the cream cheese and condensed milk until the mixture is smooth. Add the vanilla.
Fold in the Cool Whip or whip up some cream in a separate bowl and fold into the cream cheese.
Fill a piping bag with the filling and fill the pizzelles.
