IHOP Strawberry Cheesecake Waffle
The IHOP Strawberry Cheesecake Waffle costs $16.31 with 710 calories — a golden-brown Belgian waffle layered with creamy cheesecake mousse, glazed strawberries, and whipped topping. It is the dessert end of the waffle menu: the same cheesecake-and-strawberry pairing from the New York Cheesecake pancakes, rebuilt on a crisp, deep-pocketed waffle.
The cheesecake mousse is what separates it from a plain strawberry waffle — it pools into the pockets and turns every bite rich and tangy against the sweet berries. Here is the complete guide: price, ingredients, nutrition, and how to order it.

What’s on the Plate: Ingredients
IHOP’s official description: “Golden-brown Belgian waffle topped with creamy cheesecake mousse, fresh strawberries & whipped topping.”
| Component | Details |
|---|---|
| The waffle | Golden-brown Belgian, deep-pocketed — the crisp base that holds the mousse |
| Cheesecake mousse | Creamy, tangy cheesecake-style mousse spread over the waffle |
| Glazed strawberries | Fresh strawberries in a sweet glaze |
| Whipped topping | The creamy finish on top |
The mousse is the structural trick: it settles into the waffle’s deep pockets, so the cheesecake flavor runs through the whole plate instead of sitting on top. The glazed strawberries bring the sweetness, and the whipped topping keeps the finish light. Together they recreate a strawberry cheesecake in breakfast form.

The 710 calories sit between the plain Belgian Waffle (590) and the OREO Cookie Crumble (980) — indulgent, but not the heaviest waffle on the menu. The mousse and glaze drive most of the sugar; asking for the whipped topping on the side trims it without losing the cheesecake character. Figures vary by location and preparation.
How to Order It
- Whipped topping on the side: the easiest way to control sweetness — the mousse and berries carry the plate alone.
- Extra strawberries: worth asking for; the fresh fruit is the best counterweight to the rich mousse.
- Consider the combo: the Waffle Combo ($16.79) includes this exact waffle plus eggs, meat, and hash browns — about fifty cents more than the waffle alone.
- Warm syrup, not cold: a little warm syrup over the mousse side deepens the flavor without adding much.
- Versus the pancakes: the New York Cheesecake Pancakes are the pancake version of this pairing — pick the waffle when you want crisp edges with your cheesecake.
