These fluffy pumpkin waffles are full of pumpkin flavor and the warmth of cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg spice.
Crisp on the outside with tender insides, they’re the perfect fall treat for pumpkin fans and since there’s no sugar in the waffle batter, they’re a guilt-free way to get your pumpkin fix.
But we love pumpkin waffles topped with cream cheese whipped cream!

Ingredients for cream cheese whipped cream
- cream cheese
- powdered sugar
- heavy whipping cream
- vanilla extract
How to make cream cheese whipped cream
In a mixer, beat softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until creamy with stiff peaks, about one minute. Set aside.
In mixer, beat heavy cream and vanilla on high speed until soft peaks form. Add the cream cheese mixture back in and beat on medium speed until the cream cheese whipped cream is smooth and velvety, about 1-2 minutes. Store in refrigerator.
Tip: Make the whipped cream before you make the waffles so that’s it’s ready to go when the waffles are freshly cooked.
I usually spoon it into a piping bag right after I make it. If you don’t have a piping bag, you can use a freezer bag and cut off a corner to pipe the topping on the waffles.
