Ingredients

5

cups sliced fresh fruit (such as nectarines, plums or apricots), peeled if desired

1/3

cup amaretto

2

tablespoons sugar

2

cups buttermilk complete pancake & waffle mix

1 1/4

cups water

1/4

cup oil

1

teaspoon almond extract

1

egg, beaten

2

pints (4 cups) dulce de leche or vanilla ice cream

Preparation

In medium nonmetal bowl, combine sliced fruit, amaretto and sugar; toss gently. Let stand at room temperature for at least 1 hour before serving to marinate.

Heat waffle iron. In another medium bowl, combine pancake mix, water, oil, almond extract and egg; stir just until large lumps disappear. Spray waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray. Spoon half of batter into waffle iron; bake until steaming stops and waffle is golden brown. Repeat with remaining half of batter.

To serve, divide each waffle into 4 pieces; place each on individual dessert plate. Top each with 1/2 cup ice cream and 1/2 cup fruit mixture with juices.
