Ingredients

Scale

For the Cream Cheese Glaze

  • 4 tablespoons butter, softened
  • ½ cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

For the 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

  1. Make the Cream Cheese Glaze: Beat together the softened butter and cream cheese until the mixture becomes soft and smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue beating until the glaze is light, fluffy, and lump free. Remember to scrape down the sides of the bowl for an even texture. Finally, mix in the whole milk and vanilla extract, then set this glaze aside.
  2. Preheat the Waffle Iron: Get your waffle iron hot and ready for cooking while you prepare the batter.
  3. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the Bisquick mix, brown sugar, and unsweetened cocoa powder until evenly combined.
  4. Make the Waffle Batter: Add the buttermilk, whole milk, red gel food coloring, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Whisk the mixture until the batter is smooth and uniform in color.
  5. Cook the Waffles: Pour approximately ¾ cup of the red velvet batter onto the preheated waffle iron. Close the lid and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes, or until the waffles easily lift from the iron, have a slightly crispy surface with a slight brown hue, and a soft interior. Repeat this step with the remaining batter.
  6. Serve: Drizzle the warm red velvet waffles generously with the prepared cream cheese glaze and enjoy immediately while hot and fresh.

Notes

  • Cooking times may vary depending on the waffle iron; adjust accordingly for your appliance.
  • Use a good quality red gel food coloring for vibrant color without affecting batter consistency.
  • If you prefer a thicker glaze, reduce the milk slightly.
  • Waffles can be kept warm in a low oven (around 200°F) while finishing the remaining batter.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in a toaster or oven for best texture.
