2. In ánother lárge bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, buttermilk, olive oil, ánd vánillá extráct.
3. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in 3 bátches. Do not overbeát. Just mix them until thoroughly combined.
4. Using á stánding mixer beát egg whites until soft peáks form, 5-7 minutes.
5. Gently fold in the egg whites into the bátter, until no white streáks remáin.
6. Fold in the chocoláte.
7. Heát your wáffle máker until it is very hot. Pour 1/2 cup of the bátter onto your well-oiled (with vegetáble spráy) wáffle máker. Cook until it is cooked through. (My wáffle máker hás á light thát goes off when it is cooked. Follow your wáffle máker’s instructions.) Tránsfer them onto á báking sheet ánd let them cool.
8. To máke the Máscárpone Whipped Creám: Pláce máscárpone cheese in the bowl of á stánding mixer fitted with á páddle áttáchment, ánd whip it for 1 minute. Slowly ádd heávy creám, confectioners’ sugár, ánd vánillá extráct in the bowl ánd whip the mixture until it turns into light ánd fluffy. Like I mentioned in the post, everything must be in room temperáture to prevent curdling.
9. To ássemble: Pláce the first wáffle onto á pláte ánd spreád 1/4 cup of the máscárpone whipped creám onto it. Pláce the second one on top of the first one, ánd ágáin, spreád 1/4 cup máscárpone whipped creám. Repeát this process two more times. Top it off with ráspberries. Sprinkle it with 1 táblespoon (or more) of confectioners’ sugár.
