The Cookie Dough Waffle was the brainchild of French Chef Aurélien Chris Bernard, who was working at UK Dessert Parlour chain Creams Cafe at the time of inception.



Bernards' first Cookie Dough Waffle was developed for Creams Cafe's 2019 Winter Menu, and saw a layer of red velvet cookie dough baked inside waffle mix. Bernard was at the dessert chains Gants Hill branch and was tasked with creating a new dessert using existing Creams Cafe products. First, he tried baking cookie dough pucks in the stores waffle machine, but it didn’t work. Bernard reports that it stuck on the edges of the machine, and was unable to serve to customers. After experimenting with different dessert products, Bernard used the waffle mix as a coating to compliment the dark red cookie dough against the golden brown waffle, and the Cookie Dough Waffle was born.

After becoming the brands best Winter seller, the Cookie Dough Waffle, now called Waffle Cookie Dough N' Luv, was then included in Creams Cafes' Valentines Menu, using white chocolate chip cookie dough, and later proved so popular that it made its way to the dessert chains main menu, launching in March 2020.



Bernard states that the waffle cookie dough can be made with any raw cookie dough, and by using cookie dough alters the texture to a standard waffle old in the UK market.
