Step-by-Step Instructions for Decadent Red Velvet Waffles
  1. Preheat your waffle iron to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, sift together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 2 tablespoons cocoa powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 cup whole milk, 1 cup buttermilk, 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring until just combined.
  5. Pour an even amount of batter into the preheated waffle iron, using about 1/2 to 3/4 cup per waffle. Cook for approximately 2-3 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
  6. Prepare the cream cheese drizzle by beating 4 oz of softened cream cheese, 1 cup powdered sugar, and 1/4 cup heavy cream together until smooth.
  7. Once the waffles are cooked, remove them carefully from the waffle iron and drizzle the cream cheese mixture generously over the warm waffles.
