Ingredients

For the Pink Velvet Waffles:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 3/4 cups buttermilk
• 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1–2 teaspoons red or pink food coloring (gel preferred)

For the Cream Cheese Drizzle:

• 4 oz (115 g) cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2–3 tablespoons milk

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat your waffle iron according to manufacturers instructions.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar.

Step 3

In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add buttermilk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and food coloring. Whisk until well combined and vibrant pink.

Step 4

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined (do not overmix).

Step 5

Lightly grease the waffle iron. Pour batter into the center (about 1/2 to 2/3 cup per waffle, depending on your iron). Cook according to your waffle irons instructions until waffles are golden and cooked through.

Step 6

While waffles cook, prepare the cream cheese drizzle: In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla, mix well, then thin with milk until it reaches a pourable consistency.

Step 7

Serve warm waffles drizzled with the cream cheese sauce. Garnish with fresh berries or sprinkles if desired.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

To ensure the best texture, make sure your waffle iron is fully heated before adding the batter. When mixing, avoid overworking the batter; small lumps are normal and help keep the waffles tender rather than rubbery.

Varianten und Anpassungen

You can easily customize the shade of your waffles: use less food coloring for a soft pastel pink or more for a bold, vibrant look. For a fruity twist, fold chopped strawberries or fresh raspberries directly into the batter before cooking.

Serviervorschläge

Serve these warm waffles generously drizzled with the cream cheese glaze. They pair beautifully with a side of fresh berries and a festive drink like sparkling rosé or a berry mimosa to round out your brunch menu.
