Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 ¾ cups (420ml) buttermilk (or 1 ¾ cups milk + 1 tablespoon vinegar, let sit 5 minutes)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons red food coloring or beet juice
  • For the cream cheese drizzle:
  • 4 ounces (113g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons milk or heavy cream
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your waffle iron for 5 to 7 minutes until hot.
  2. In a large bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar. Whisk to combine.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat eggs. Add buttermilk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and red food coloring or beet juice. Mix until smooth.
  4. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Gently fold with a spatula until just combined; batter should be a little lumpy.
  5. Lightly grease waffle iron. Pour about ½ cup (120ml) batter onto the center. Close lid and cook 3 to 5 minutes until crisp and deep pink.
  6. Remove waffle carefully and keep warm on a wire rack. Repeat with remaining batter.
  7. For the cream cheese drizzle, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Add milk or cream and vanilla extract; whisk until pourable.
  8. Drizzle cream cheese glaze over warm waffles and serve immediately.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep waffles tender. Use room temperature eggs and buttermilk for better rise. Preheat waffle iron fully for crispy edges. Let waffles rest on a wire rack to avoid sogginess. Keep cream cheese drizzle thin to avoid overpowering waffles. Batter can be made ahead and refrigerated overnight.
