A sweet and rich low carb dessert chaffle that will remind you of the famous Canadian Coffee Crisp chocolate bar! Vanilla cake chaffles filled with coffee buttercream icing and covered in a layer of chocolate glaze. A special keto dessert that only requires a small slice of decadence!
Coffee Crisp – Makes a nice light snack! If you are Canadian you will know that tag line very well!
Well forget the nice light snack, I made these coffee crisp chaffles into a full on dessert! My fellow Canadians will be quite familiar with the chocolate covered coffee wafer bar.
Basically this chaffle dessert is 3 vanilla or cake flavored chaffles layered with a coffee flavored icing and drizzled with a chocolate glaze.
If you’ve never had a coffee crisp bar, then just think mocha cake. That would be the closest flavor to this.
NOTE: In spite of the name, it’s a cake and while it has that famous coffee crisp flavor, it is NOT crispy like an actual coffee crisp bar. But I did find an actual keto bar that comes pretty darn close, check out these keto wheyfer bars. They have the same light crispiness you might be craving!
Things you will need to make this Keto Coffee Crisp Chaffle Dessert
- Eggs
- mild flavored cheese such as mozzarella
- cream cheese
- baking powder
- flavor extracts
- Unsalted butter
- instant coffee
- heavy cream
- cocoa powder
- icing sugar substitute like this So Nourished sweetener or Swerve
- Sugar free chocolate chips
- a small blender (but you could also whisk it!)
- electric mixer for the icing

Tips and Tricks for the best coffee crisp flavored Keto Chaffle dessert!
- There are 3 main components to this dessert. The chaffles, the filling and the glaze. Be sure to allow everything to cool between the assembly steps.
- The recipe is designed for the little mini dash maker. You could do this in a regular waffle maker but you would have to adjust for the amount to fill the machine evenly as well as the look of the finished results will be quite different.
- Although I can easily eat 3 chaffles for a meal, this dessert is so rich that I would divide into 6 pieces. I was quite satisfied with an even smaller sliver than that! That said, someone else in my family ate 3/4 of this dessert over the course of 24 hours.
- You can cover the entire cake with the chocolate glaze or you can pour it over and make it fancy like the picture below!
