Notes

- Ensure cream cheese is softened for easier blending and smoother topping texture.
- Mini waffle makers yield the perfect chaffle size and ensure crispness.
- Adjust the sweetness to your taste by modifying the amount of sugar substitute.
- Chaffles are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the fridge for 2-3 days and reheated in a toaster for crispiness.
