I tried 'Lip Van Waffle' which melts caramel with the steam of coffee

' Lip Van Waffle ' is a waffle that melts caramel when placed on a cup of freshly brewed coffee or tea. It is a traditional Dutch sweet, and when it was commercialized in San Francisco, it was

so popular that the Google headquarters ordered 20,000 pieces every month, so I actually bought it and enjoyed the coffee break.

I got a lot of lip van waffles with a box.

How to eat is written on the side of the box.

Inside is an individually wrapped lip van waffle.

The box can be assembled in this way and placed in the office as it is.

The package looks like this. It says 'Traditional waffles in Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands'.

Oats contained in granola and flaxseed oil are used, and the weight is 33g per sheet.

Ingredients include tapioca syrup, coconut powder, vanilla extract and cinnamon. The calorie is 150 kcal per sheet.

Opened immediately.

Inside was a brown, round waffle.

It's more like a cookie than a waffle.

First of all, I just grabbed it. The outside is crispy, but the caramel filling is sandwiched inside, so it has a sticky texture. The cinnamon scent is soft and delicious as it is.

However, it is a normal sweet as it is, so I decided to try it with coffee.

Place the lip van waffle on the edge of the hot coffee. The point is to take a deep breath and wait for a long time until the caramel filling inside melts with the steam of freshly brewed coffee.

After a while, the waffles started to fluff.

When I tried it, the aroma of cinnamon and vanilla was stronger from the moderately melted caramel, and it had a soft texture that was completely different from when I ate it as it was. The waffle part is also moist.

Those who are not steamed will still have a crispy feeling, so it will turn into a mysterious sweet. It feels like a

chunk cookie with a moist texture.

The caramel filling is packed tightly in between ...

When it melts with the heat of coffee, it stretches.

When you soak it in a drink, the bitterness of sweet waffles and black coffee is perfect. You can eat it with coffee, so it's a good snack between work.

I decided to try it with tea.

With tea in a tea bag, the waffles will be finished while you wait for the hot water. It goes well with black tea, and when you soak it in it, the good aroma of black tea mixes with the caramel, which is also good. Latte and cappuccino are also recommended. It seems that you can enjoy it not only during work and study, but also for making tea when you come to visit.
