Ice Cream Topped Waffles with Caramel, Almonds, Plums & Cinnamon

When you have pretty melamine plates you want to dine outdoors at any occasion… breakfast, lunch and dinner time.

All pictured below tableware came, a bit by coincidence, from HomeSense, including the plastic glass and even the tray. The plates are new addition to our collection and they are from new HomeSense al fresco range that my little assistant and I got recently in our local branch. Aren’t they pretty?

And they look even better when used to serve delicious summery dish like the ice cream topped waffles I made for my girls, enjoy!

TIPS

Replace plums with fresh nectarines or peaches or other seasonal fruits.

If you don’t have ice cream on hand try using whipped cream or thick yogurt instead.

  1. Those melamine plates are gorgeous! I’ll have to check them out at Homesense. I love this recipe, too. You’ve made waffles so special :)

  2. What a gorgeous range of melamine – they look like china!!!! I’m going to have to go and check it out. I adore your waffles and ice cream idea too… my kids would go WILD for that. The perfect summer dessert :-)

  3. Oh my god can I have one of these waffles right now? And you added ice cream too! Now I’ll have to make some waffles this weekend!

  4. I love the homewares in HomeSense, just wish there was a nearer branch to me. Although it’s probably just as well there isn’t… Those waffles are calling me for breakfast tomorrow, might have to fire up the waffle iron!

  5. Those waffles…. swoooooon!! And I love how the blue tableware sets off the colours so beautifull! I need a Homesense store near me I think ;o)

  6. I have the blue bowl. I love it. Homesense is one of my very favourite stores. This looks delicious and I am all about the melamine right now too.
