Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, then add brown sugar and stir for 1 minute until combined.

  2. Step 2

    Remove from heat. Pour in cream and vanilla, stir until smooth, then sprinkle in sea salt and stir once more.

  3. Step 3

    Pour hot coffee or cocoa into two mugs. Top each mug with two stroopwafels, letting them soften from the steam.

  4. Step 4

    After 1 minute, gently break the softened waffles and stir them into the hot drink to melt and blend.

  5. Step 5

    Drizzle salted caramel generously over the surface and into the mug. Serve immediately.
