Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (240g)
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 3/4 cups buttermilk (420 ml)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil or melted unsalted butter (80 ml)
  • 1 tablespoon red food coloring (gel-based preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup milk (whole or 2%) (120 ml)
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar (90g), sifted
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions (about 5 minutes). Lightly grease with oil or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk buttermilk, eggs, vegetable oil (or melted butter), red food coloring, vanilla extract, and white vinegar until smooth.
  4. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula until just combined. Batter should be thick but pourable with some small lumps.
  5. Pour 1/2 to 3/4 cup batter onto the waffle iron, spread slightly without pressing down. Close lid and cook 4-6 minutes until waffles are crisp outside and fluffy inside.
  6. While waffles cook, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract using a mixer. Slowly add milk until smooth and pourable. Adjust thickness by adding more milk or powdered sugar as needed.
  7. Serve waffles immediately stacked and drizzled generously with cream cheese syrup. Optionally add fresh berries, powdered sugar, or whipped cream.
  8. To reheat leftovers, toast waffles or warm in oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes. Warm cream cheese syrup gently before serving.

Notes

Use gel-based red food coloring for vibrant color. Do not overmix batter to keep waffles fluffy. Preheat waffle iron fully before cooking. For thinner cream cheese syrup, add milk gradually. Leftover waffles reheat well in toaster or oven. For gluten-free, substitute almond or gluten-free flour blend. Vegan version uses flax eggs, plant-based milk, and vegan cream cheese.
