Red Velvet Cake Mix Waffles with Cream Cheese Drizzle
Red Velvet Cake Mix Waffles:
- 1 box red velvet cake mix
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- Cooking spray (for waffle iron)
Cream Cheese Drizzle:
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions for Red Velvet Cake Mix Waffles:
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- In a large bowl, combine the red velvet cake mix, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and eggs. Stir until well combined and smooth.
- Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray. Pour enough batter onto the preheated waffle iron to cover the waffle grid. Close the lid and cook according to your waffle maker's instructions, usually for about 3-5 minutes or until the waffles are cooked through and have a crispy exterior.
- Continue making waffles with the remaining batter. Keep the prepared waffles warm on a baking sheet in a low-temperature oven while you make the cream cheese drizzle.
Instructions for Cream Cheese Drizzle:
- In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating continuously to avoid lumps. Add 2 tablespoons of milk and continue beating. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if needed. If desired, add vanilla extract for extra flavor.
- Once the waffles are ready, place them on serving plates. Drizzle the prepared cream cheese sauce generously over the warm waffles.
- Serve the red velvet cake mix waffles with the decadent cream cheese drizzle. Garnish with additional powdered sugar, fresh berries, or sprinkles for a delightful Valentine's Day breakfast or dessert.
