Ingredients
For the waffle batter
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 6 tablespoons butter melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon red gel food coloring
- cooking spray or oil for waffle iron
For the cream cheese icing
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- 2 tablespoons butter softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
For garnish
- 1 cup fresh berries
- ¼ cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
For the waffle batter
- Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, granulated sugar and salt to a mixing bowl and whisk to combine.
- Place the buttermilk, eggs, butter and vanilla extract in the bowl and stir just until a batter forms.
- Add the food coloring, then mix one more time.
- Preheat your waffle iron and brush it with oil or coat with cooking spray.
- Fill the waffle maker with batter, close the lid and cook for 5-6 minutes.
- Repeat with the remaining batter until all the batter is used up.
For the cream cheese icing
- Add the softened butter and cream cheese to a mixing bowl and beat with an electric hand mixer until smooth.
- Add the powdered sugar, milk and vanilla extract and beat again to combine.
For garnish
- Drizzle the cream cheese icing over the waffles. Top with berries and chocolate chips, then serve immediately.
Notes
- I prefer to use gel food coloring because it provides a more vibrant color without adding any extra liquid to the batter. I typically use Americolor Super Red.
- Leftover waffles will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Store them separate from the icing, and reheat in the toaster. You can also freeze the waffles for up to 2 months.
