+ Stroopwafels, or syrup wafers, are Dutch biscuits with 2 thin waffle layers and a caramel filling. Find them in the international aisle of supermarkets or at specialty grocers.
TIP
These soft-serve sandwiches can be made up to 1 day in advance. Keep them in an airtight container in the freezer until 5 minutes before you’re ready to serve, giving them just enough time to soften.
