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
- Make the cream cheese glaze: Beat the softened butter and cream cheese together until soft and smooth. Add the powdered sugar and beat until the mixture is light and fluffy, scraping down the sides of the bowl to avoid lumps.
- Add liquid ingredients to glaze: Mix in the whole milk and vanilla extract, then set the cream cheese glaze aside while you prepare the waffles.
- Preheat waffle iron: Turn on your waffle iron to heat it up, so it’s ready to cook when the batter is prepared.
- Mix dry waffle ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the Bisquick mix, brown sugar, and unsweetened cocoa powder until evenly combined.
- Add wet ingredients to waffle batter: Pour in the buttermilk, whole milk, red gel food coloring, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk the batter until it is smooth and uniform in color.
- Cook waffles: Pour about ¾ cup of the red velvet batter into the hot waffle iron. Close the lid and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the waffle easily pulls away without sticking and has a slightly crispy, lightly browned outside.
- Serve with glaze: Drizzle some cream cheese glaze over the warm red velvet waffles immediately. Repeat cooking the remaining batter and serve warm for best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Add more milk to thin the cream cheese glaze or reduce milk to ¼ cup for a thicker frosting consistency.
- If buttermilk is unavailable, mix 1 tablespoon white vinegar with 1 cup regular milk and let it curdle to mimic buttermilk’s tang and texture.
- Omit the brown sugar from the waffle recipe if you prefer less sweetness, as the cream cheese glaze already provides a rich sweet flavor.
