Gingerbread House Ingredients

Step by Step Instructions

Step by Step Instructions

1
Preheat waffle maker

Preheat waffle maker to medium high heat.

2
Whisk, pour, cook

Whisk together all of the ingredients for the gingerbread house. Pour gingerbread chaffle batter into the center of the waffle iron. Close the waffle maker and let cook for 3-5 minutes or until waffle is golden brown and set. You want the waffles to be firm so they can stand the weight of the roof, so it’s okay to over cook them a little.

Remove from heat

Remove chaffle from the waffle maker. Cut each waffles into squares if needed.

Royal icings

Add the ingredients for the royal icing in a separate small bowl. Beat using an electric mixer until stiff and smooth.

5
Build the walls

Add icing to a piping bag. Taking four waffles, pipe icing along the bottom and adhere them to your surface. Set up the four wall and pipe frosting along the corners so the walls will stick together.

Make an A frame

To make the A frame of the house, cut one chaffle diagonally in half. The long side of each triangle will sit against the front wall of the house with icing piped in between them. To make the roof, pipe icing along the top frame of the A-frame walls and place roof on top. Let sit for 5 minutes before decorating. (Troubleshooting – if you are having trouble getting your gingerbread house to stand, use toothpicks for support)

Low Carb Gingerbread House Recipe

keto gingerbread chaffle house Besides baking a bunch of cookies and making a pumpkin roll, one of our favorite Christmas traditions is to make a gingerbread house.

It’s a fun evening or weekend project with your family – done in less than 30 minutes, start to finish! Your house will smell like gingerbread and Christmas when you make this low carb gingerbread house. Top with your favorite treats – candies, nuts, even berries. Dye the royal icing too. Get creative! Keep up your Christmas traditions without breaking your diet.

Gingerbread Chaffle

a pile of gingerbread chaffles This gingerbread house is made out of waffles – chaffles to be specific. I have a recipe for gingerbread chaffles, but for the chaffle house, you want to use mozzarella cheese instead of cream cheese. Mozzarella makes the waffle firm and able to withstand the weight of the roof, icing and toppings. Cream cheese chaffles are too flimsy and will collapse.

Best Waffle Maker for Gingerbread Chaffle House

waffle maker for gingerbread chaffle house The waffle maker I use for making these is a square, four burner waffle maker. This no mess waffle maker by Dash is my favorite. Ideally, you want a waffle maker that makes square waffles because your house will stand up easier and there will be no additional cutting needed. This waffle maker makes thick waffles too, which is ideal for providing support to our gingerbread house. You could still use a circular waffle maker. You will need to get creative with cutting to make a level surface. Dash No Mess Waffle Maker As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases

Royal Icing

keto royal icing in a piping bag The royal icing is really easy to make. Add all the ingredients to a bowl and mix until combined. It’s easy to work with – soft initially, but hardens as it sits. Fill a piping bag fitted with a small tip (or cut a hole at the end) with sugar free royal icing. Twist the piping bag to push the icing towards the tip and you are ready to start assembling.

Keto Approved Gingerbread House Toppings

Once your gingerbread house is assembled, decorate it with all your favorite low carb treats. Try candies, nuts, berries, even pork rinds. Here are some toppings I love:
