Instructions

  • In a small bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, oil, vanilla extract, and red food coloring.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Preheat your waffle iron and grease it lightly with nonstick spray or melted butter.

Assemble and Cook:

  • Spoon about 1/4 cup of waffle batter onto the preheated waffle iron and spread slightly.
  • Pipe a swirl or dollop of the cheesecake filling in the center, avoiding the edges.
  • Add another small scoop of batter on top to cover the cheesecake filling.
  • Close the waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions, until the waffles are crisp and cooked through.

Make the Cream Cheese Icing:

  • In a bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
  • Add the vanilla and 2 tablespoons of milk, mixing until the icing is thin enough to drizzle. Add more milk if needed.

Serve:

  • Drizzle the warm waffles with the cream cheese icing.
  • Optional: Top with whipped cream, fresh berries, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar for extra flair.
