~eggo Cherry Bomb~

By Ally @allykitchen

Competitive cooking contests require immense creativity in thinking how a particular product can be used~~in what way that’s not already been done~~EGGO has a big contest where you let your juices flow on how to make easy, fun and new deliveries of their well-known EGGO waffles.

To be honest, I haven’t bought a box of EGGO waffles in a long long time~~I usually make my own~~but I know that they’re quite popular and even with my granddaughters!  When they come to visit, there’s, no doubt, EGGO waffles and pancakes in the freezer!  My wheels sparked when I opened my freezer and saw a bag of Dole Dark Red Cherries~~immediately, my head thought ‘cherry bombs’ and that’s how the EGGO Cherry Bomb was born!  It’s a mighty tasty littl’ treat and a no brainer in making…the presenation will certainly bring about squeals of joy!

Servings: 3

What you need:

9 small Eggo Homestyle Minis (thawed)

3 packaged ice cream sugar cones

12 frozen whole pitted cherries

9 tsp whipped cream cheese

1 bottle Magic Shell Chocolate Fudge

3 sprigs fresh mint

3 (10”) skewers

What you do:

For each serving:

  1. Cut one of the mini Eggos into quarters.  Gently push into the ice cream cone.  Drizzle some chocolate into the cone.  It will form a ‘shell’ and stabilize the skewer.
  2. Cut the other 2 Eggo minis into halves.  Put about ½ tsp of whipped cream cheese on it.
  3. Take a cherry and slide onto the skewer (about 2-3” from the top). Next slide the half piece of waffle with cream cheese.
  4. Continue this pattern with the remaining cherries and mini waffles/cream cheese.  Each skewer will have 4 half waffle/cream cheese/cherry pieces.
  5. Gently push the pointed part of the skewer (about 3”) into the cone.  The mini waffle pieces will add stabilization and balance for the skewer.
  6. Drizzle from the top some of the magic shell chocolate on each ‘Eggo Cherry Bomb’—let it drizzle down the side.  Garnish with a sprig of mint.
