Introduction
Keto Oreo Chaffles are a delicious low-carb treat that combines the classic Oreo flavor with a cheesy waffle base. Perfect for a quick snack or dessert, these chaffles are easy to make and satisfy any sweet tooth without the carbs.
Ingredients
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Swerve confectioners sugar substitute
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (preferably black cocoa powder)
- 3 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
- 3 tablespoons Swerve confectioners sugar substitute (for topping)
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat a mini waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Step 2: In a small blender, combine shredded mozzarella, eggs, 2 tablespoons Swerve, and cocoa powder. Blend until the batter is smooth. Alternatively, whisk the ingredients together in a mixing bowl until well combined.
- Step 3: Pour about ¼ of the batter into the preheated mini waffle maker. Close and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the chaffle is set and cooked through. Repeat this process for the remaining batter.
- Step 4: While the chaffles are cooking, blend the cream cheese, heavy whipping cream, and remaining 3 tablespoons Swerve until smooth and creamy for the topping.
- Step 5: Spread the cream cheese topping on each warm chaffle. Serve them individually or stack several chaffles and cut into fourths for a fun twist.
Tips & Variations
- Use black cocoa powder for a richer color and deeper chocolate flavor that mimics Oreo cookies.
- If you don’t have a blender, mixing well by hand with a whisk works perfectly fine.
- Add a few drops of vanilla extract to the topping for extra flavor.
- Try layering the chaffles with sugar-free chocolate chips or a keto-friendly whipped cream for variety.
Storage
Store leftover chaffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them briefly in a toaster or mini waffle maker to maintain crispiness. The cream cheese topping is best fresh but can also be refrigerated separately and added before serving.
How to Serve
Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
FAQs
Can I make these chaffles without a mini waffle maker?
A mini waffle maker is ideal for perfect chaffles, but you can use a regular waffle maker or a non-stick skillet to cook the batter, adjusting the cooking time accordingly.
Is Swerve the only sweetener I can use?
No, you can substitute Swerve with other keto-friendly sweeteners like erythritol or monk fruit sweetener, but adjust the quantity to taste as sweetness levels vary.

Ingredients
Chaffle Ingredients
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Swerve confectioners sugar substitute
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder (preferably black cocoa powder)
Topping Ingredients
- 3 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 3 tablespoons Heavy whipping cream
- 3 tablespoons Swerve confectioners sugar substitute
Instructions
- Preheat waffle maker. Begin by preheating your mini waffle maker so that it reaches the perfect temperature for cooking the chaffles evenly and achieving a crispy texture.
- Prepare chaffle batter. Combine the mozzarella cheese, eggs, Swerve confectioners sugar substitute, and unsweetened cocoa powder in a small blender and puree until smooth. Alternatively, you can whisk the ingredients together thoroughly in a mixing bowl until fully combined.
- Cook chaffles. Pour about a quarter of the batter into the waffle maker and cook each chaffle for 3 to 4 minutes or until they are cooked through and have a golden brown, slightly crisp exterior. Repeat for the remaining batter.
- Make the topping. In a blender or bowl, blend together the softened cream cheese, heavy whipping cream, and Swerve confectioners sugar substitute until the mixture is smooth and creamy, resembling a sweet, fluffy frosting.
- Assemble and serve. Spread the cream cheese topping onto each warm chaffle. You can serve them individually or stack multiple chaffles together, then slice into fourths to create Oreo-like segments for easy sharing and enjoyment.
Notes
- Use a mini waffle maker to achieve the best size and shape for chaffles.
- Black cocoa powder enhances the dark color and rich chocolate flavor similar to Oreo cookies.
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened for a smooth topping texture.
- These chaffles are best enjoyed warm but can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of Swerve confectioners sugar substitute according to preference.
