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 cream cheese glaze: Beat the butter and cream cheese together until soft and smooth. Add powdered sugar and continue beating until light and fluffy, scraping down the sides of the bowl to ensure a lump-free mixture.
- Mix glaze liquids: Add the whole milk and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture and stir until fully combined. Set the glaze aside.
- Preheat waffle iron: Turn on your waffle iron to preheat while preparing the batter.
- Mix dry ingredients for waffles: In a medium bowl, whisk together Bisquick mix, brown sugar, and unsweetened cocoa powder.
- Combine wet ingredients: Add buttermilk, whole milk, red gel food coloring, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Whisk thoroughly until the batter is smooth.
- Cook waffles: Pour about ¾ cup of the red velvet batter into the preheated waffle iron. Close the iron and cook for about 5 minutes, or until waffles can be easily removed and are soft inside with slightly crispy edges and a light brown surface.
- Serve: Drizzle some cream cheese glaze over warm waffles and enjoy while hot. Repeat cooking with remaining batter and serve immediately.
Notes
- Add more milk to the cream cheese glaze to make it thinner or reduce milk to ¼ cup to create a thicker frosting consistency.
- If you don’t have buttermilk, combine 1 tablespoon white vinegar with 1 cup regular milk, let it curdle to mimic buttermilk texture and flavor.
- Omitting brown sugar from the waffle batter results in less sweet waffles, balancing the sweetness of the cream cheese glaze.
