If you're a fan of the creamy taste of New York cheesecake then you'll love the taste of IHOP's latest sweet breakfast item. The Very Blueberry Cheesecake Waffullicious Waffles offer foodies the chance to devour a waffle cheesecake hybrid no matter how early in the day it is.
IHOP wants to revolutionize the way we see desserts as an after dinner meal item with the creation of a waffle-infused cheesecake. These fruity and creamy waffles are made with a traditional Belgian waffle mix infused with New York-style cheesecake directly into the dough. After the waffles are made ready to order, they are topped with crumbled cheesecake pieces and a delicious blueberry compote. This super sweet breakfast item is perfect for those that like to start their mornings off with a sugary treat.
