When I was a kid, for a special treat we would have “Ice Cream Waffles”.  You put a scoop of ice cream on a hot crispy waffle and enjoy!  It still remains a fun memory to me, and I promise, if you think it sounds weird, just try it.  Think of a warm waffle cone with creamy ice cream.  We would try all kinds of flavors, from plain vanilla to mint chocolate chip or whatever.  This would be a great addition.  I’m thinking crispy waffles, butter pecan ice cream, and a drizzle of this on top.  It would also go great on a multitude of other dishes, but I’ll leave that to you to have fun experimenting with!
