Classic Blueberry Lemon Cheesecake Waffles bursting with blueberries in every bite, served with a creamy cheesecake topping and fresh home-made Blueberry Sauce!
What more could I say than WOW!
Crispy, fluffy waffles that could be mistaken for blueberry cake are what these waffles are. Say that 10 times fast.
Ever since we bought a waffle maker, (this one to be exact), our days have been filled with crispy waffles of all different colours and flavours. Waffles for breakfast. Waffles for lunch. Waffles for dinner, even. I’m staring to prefer waffles over pancakes. I know! The insanity! Don’t even.
No flipping. No waiting around a stove. Just pour batter into a machine and DONE. I mean, who doesn’t love an easy breakfast?
Out of all of the waffles we’ve been trying, eating and loving, these Blueberry Waffles have been making regular appearances in this house. And I’m not kidding when I say waffles for dinner. We are so in love with these waffles that we had them ALLLLL DAYYYYY on Saturday while listening to the rain, covered in blankets and pretending it was Summer. These waffles have Summer ALL over them. Oh Summer. How I miss thee.
Creamy swirls of cheesecake on top of cake-like waffles, drowning in this fresh, homemade blueberry sauce is what you need to be making every Sunday morning, like us right now, and get on my level of epic desserts for breakfast.

I made the waffles and blueberry lemon sauce…this must be food for gods..heavenly! Thank you so much for the recipe. Kids literally licked their plates!
Jada Cunningham says

Jenn says
If you choose to use whipping cream instead of the yogurt as you suggest, how much cream should we add?
Karina says
hi Jenn! Use the same amount of whipping cream as the yoghurt. It should come out with the same taste 🙂
Kallie says
Absolutely divine! Used my Belgian Waffle maker – love the deep pockets to hold more lucious goodness. Mine also flips so it makes the waffles super fluffy. Mine is an inexpensive Hamilton Beach and it’s to die for!
Added some lemon zest to the topping (hate wasting that yumminess).
Thank you for this keeper recipe.
Does it get any better than waffles, cream cheese, lemon & blueberry sauce? Nah Ahhh

Yay for waffles!!! I have been eyeing the Breville (4 cavity) waffle maker for a while; I may have to finally buy it with this waffle inspiration 🙂
Rachel @Simple Seasonal says
Wow! The look of these waffles are making me swoon!
Laurence says
It looks AMAZING! what temperature do you recommend to preheat the waffle maker?
Karina says
Hi Laurence! I have mine on a medium browning setting, (the dial is half way between darkest to lightest). But it really depends on your waffle maker!
