Prepare the Waffles: Toast your waffles until crisp, then cut them into squares.
Whisk the Custard: In a bowl, whisk together the milk (or cream), eggs, and maple syrup.
Layer: Lightly grease the slow cooker. Toss the waffle squares inside and pour the custard mixture over them. Press down gently to ensure every piece is submerged.
Slow Cook: Cover and cook on Low for 2–3 hours. The pudding is done when the custard is set and the edges are slightly golden.
Finish: Top with fresh berries and a dollop of whipped cream before serving.
