Ingredients
Scale
Cream Cheese Glaze
- 4 tablespoons butter, softened
- ½ cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- ½ cup whole milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Red Velvet Waffles
- 2 cups Bisquick mix
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup buttermilk
- ½ cup whole milk
- 30 drops red gel food coloring
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Glaze: Beat the butter and cream cheese together until soft and smooth. Add the powdered sugar and continue beating until the mixture is light and fluffy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure it is lump-free.
- Finish the Glaze: Mix in the whole milk and vanilla extract until fully combined. Set the glaze aside for later use.
- Preheat Waffle Iron: Heat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions to ensure even cooking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the Bisquick mix, brown sugar, and cocoa powder until well combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the buttermilk, whole milk, red gel food coloring, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Whisk until the waffle batter is smooth and evenly colored.
- Cook the Waffles: Pour about ¾ cup of the batter onto the preheated waffle iron. Close the lid and cook for about 5 minutes or until the waffle easily releases and is slightly crispy on the outside, soft inside, and a little brown on top. Adjust time as needed based on your waffle iron.
- Serve: Drizzle the warm waffles with the cream cheese glaze and serve immediately while hot. Repeat cooking with remaining batter.
Notes
- Add more milk to thin the cream cheese glaze or reduce to ¼ cup milk for a thicker frosting consistency.
- If buttermilk is unavailable, combine 1 tablespoon white vinegar with 1 cup regular milk and let it curdle to mimic buttermilk.
- Omit brown sugar from the waffle batter to reduce sweetness, as the cream cheese glaze already adds ample sweetness.
