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 softened butter and cream cheese together until the mixture is soft and smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar while continuing to beat until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, scraping down the sides of the bowl to eliminate lumps.
- Incorporate milk and vanilla: Mix in the whole milk and vanilla extract into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined. Set this glaze aside for later use.
- Preheat the waffle iron: Turn on your waffle iron and allow it to heat up fully according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Mix dry waffle ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the Bisquick mix, brown sugar, and unsweetened cocoa powder to ensure an even distribution of all dry components.
- Add wet ingredients and color: Pour in the buttermilk, whole milk, red gel food coloring, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract into the dry mixture. Whisk all ingredients together until the batter is smooth and uniform in color.
- 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 pulls away and is crisp on the outside with a slightly brown surface.
- Serve with glaze: Drizzle the prepared cream cheese glaze over the warm waffles immediately after cooking and enjoy them hot.
- Repeat for remaining batter: Continue cooking the remaining batter in the waffle iron, serving each batch hot with the cream cheese glaze.
Notes
- Adjust the consistency of the cream cheese glaze by adding more milk for a thinner glaze or reducing milk to ¼ cup for a thicker frosting.
- If you don't have buttermilk, substitute by mixing 1 tablespoon of white vinegar into 1 cup of regular milk and letting it curdle before use.
- Omit the brown sugar from the waffle batter if you prefer less sweetness, as the cream cheese glaze adds plenty of sweetness.
