Easy Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake Waffles

For me, simplicity is key in the kitchen. While there are certain items that I will buckle down and make from scratch, more often than not I prefer to take tasty shortcuts and have some of my favorite staples on hand that can be turned into delicious recipes and are easy enough to whip up in minutes but impressive enough to serve when guests show up unexpectedly. That’s why any time you visit my home, you’ll find my refrigerator and freezer fully stocked with a variety of products that can be transformed into an amazing meal in minutes.

I know you may be thinking that there is no way that I made this Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake Waffles in less than 15 minutes and with a very few ingredients but honestly, I did, and now, I’m going to show you exactly how you can do it too!

While these Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake Waffles look super impressive, you’re not going to believe how easy they are to make when you use frozen and dairy ingredients from Publix! To start, I added Dole Frozen Blueberries, water and calorie free sweetener to a small pot and brought it to a boil. Then I reduced the heat to low and let it simmer while I made my lemon cheesecake topping.

While my blueberry sauce was simmering, I added my softened cream cheese, Chobani Smooth Yogurt, lemon juice and calorie free confectioner’s sugar to a small bowl and blended it until it was smooth and creamy. With the vanilla option of the Chobani Smooth Yogurt, I didn’t have to add extracts or flavoring to achieve that rich, creamy cheesecake flavor that I was going for.

Once my lemon cheesecake topping was made (it takes about 2 minutes tops), I added my Kodiak Cakes Power Waffles to my toaster and pushed down the button.

As my house started to fill with the rich vanilla smell of the Kodiak Cakes Power Waffles (which, let me mention, are a staple for me due to their high protein and lower carb count), I giggled knowing that I could fool anyone who walked in into thinking that I’d been baking all morning just from the smell of my kitchen! As soon as my Power Waffles popped up, I placed them on a plate and set to work assembling my Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake Waffles.

I started by scooping two tablespoons of my lemon cheesecake mixture made from Chobani Smooth Yogurt onto the top of the waffles.

Then I drizzled a tablespoon (OK, I may have used a tad more but why shouldn’t I? Fruit is good, right?) of my blueberry sauce over the top of the creamy cheesecake mixture.

Instantly, I had a breakfast that’s simple enough for weekdays but feels like a weekend treat.

After garnishing my Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake Waffles with a slice of lemon, I sat back to enjoy the fruits of my labor and oh, how enjoyable it was!

The vanilla undertones of the Power Waffles blended perfectly with the slight tang of the lemon cheesecake mixture and the sweetness of the blueberry sauce to create a breakfast that is not only satisfying but also a perfect way to fuel my busy days.

With a breakfast this easy to whip up that’s totally worth getting out of bed for, I never worry that weekday or weekend mornings won’t be delicious!
