Instructions
How to Make Pizzelle Cookies
To make Pizzelles, start by placing butter and margarine in a small bowl and microwaving it for 30 seconds until melted. Let it cool before continuing.
In a separate bowl, add eggs and sugar and beat them on high for five minutes using an electric mixer.
Add melted and cooled butter and whisk it for another minute.
Next, gradually add in flour while mixing on low until everything is fully combined.
Now, preheat your Pizzelle maker. Once it's ready, use an ice cream scooper to pour some of the mixture onto each ring. Bake for only one minute.
As soon as they're done, quickly remove them from the Pizzelle maker and roll them up while they're still hot. Note that once they cool, they will become hard and you won't be able to roll them up.
Let the rolled pizzelles cool on a wire rack completely before filling them with cream.
How to Make Cream Filling
For the cream filling, simply beat heavy whipping cream until just starts to thicken, and then add Dulce de Leche and mix just until combined. Once it's combined, scrape the sides of the bowl and mix again for another 30 seconds.
How to Assemble Pizzelle
To assemble the Pizzelles, place the cream filling in a piping bag with Wilton 21 attachment. Pipe some cream onto each side of the rolled Pizzelle.
Repeat the process until all rolls are filled. Refrigerate for at least six hours before serving.
