Bake Amsterdam's most iconic treat — with a spirited twist

The smell hits you first: warm caramel, toasted dough, and a hint of something deliciously Dutch. Welcome to Amsterdam's most hands-on (and tastiest) cultural experience.

Forget buying pre-packaged stroopwafels from a tourist shop. In this intimate workshop, you'll bake your own traditional Dutch stroopwafels from scratch and fill them with something no grocery store can offer: warm caramel syrup infused with Bols jenever, the legendary Amsterdam spirit.

Learn the art, taste the tradition

Your instructor welcomes you into a cozy Amsterdam bakery workshop where stroopwafels have been made for generations. After a brief introduction to the history of this 18th-century Dutch classic (and the role jenever played in Amsterdam's Golden Age), you'll roll up your sleeves and get to work.

Watch a live demonstration first: how to roll the dough just right, press it in the traditional waffle iron, and achieve that perfect golden-brown crisp. Then it's your turn. With guidance from your instructor, you'll prepare and bake your own XL stroopwafels on authentic irons.

The magic ingredient: jenever-infused caramel

Here's where this workshop gets special. While most stroopwafels use plain caramel syrup, yours will be filled with warm Bols jenever-infused caramel — prepared in advance by our host for the perfect balance of sweet and spirited. The jenever adds a smooth, aromatic depth that transforms the classic treat into something uniquely Amsterdam.

Slice your hot waffle in half, drizzle in that gooey jenever caramel, press it together, and take your first bite while it's still warm. This is stroopwafel as it's meant to be.

Savor, share, and take home the recipe

Enjoy your fresh creation alongside Dutch coffee, tea. Chat with your instructor about Dutch food culture, swap baking tips with fellow participants, and soak in the relaxed, convivial atmosphere.

Before you leave, you'll pack up a second XL stroopwafel to take home (or devour on your walk back), plus a recipe card so you can recreate this experience in your own kitchen and impress friends back home.

Perfect for curious travelers and food lovers

Whether you're a couple looking for a unique date activity, friends wanting to try something different, or a solo traveler eager to connect with local culture through food, this workshop delivers. It's interactive without being overwhelming, educational without being stuffy, and delicious without exception.

In just 60 minutes, you'll go from curious tourist to confident stroopwafel baker with a new appreciation for Dutch culinary traditions — and a very satisfied sweet tooth.
