I love the idea of eating a waffle on the street. Earlier this year when my sister got an eggette pan from her husband, I learned that egg waffles are traditionally served on the street in Hong Kong! We like to enjoy them around the dinner table here, pulling the little circles apart and piecing at the sweet custardy bread with friends and family. My niece calls them Octopus Waffles and likes them with powdered sugar; I call them Bubble Wrap Waffles and like them with cinnamon sugar; my sister usually makes the waffles and likes hers with whipped cream and berries. This day we three got in the kitchen and made a rich cannoli and falltime inspired egg waffle. The recipe is from the egg waffle pan, and the pumpkin spice cream filling recipe below is adapted from a JELL-O advertisement I once tore out of a magazine. Sprinkled with chocolate chips and wrapped up, it’s a breakfast dessert that’s good on the go!

Pumpkin Spice Cream Filling

Whisk together:
1 small box instant vanilla pudding mix
1/3 cup cold milk
1 t. pumpkin spice

Fold in:
3 cups whipped cream (homemade or Cool Whip)

If you don’t have an icing bag, just dollop it on with a spoon. It also works wonderfully in donut holes or spread between cake layers.
