- If too thick, add a splash of milk to reach desired consistency.
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions and lightly grease the plates if necessary.
- Pour about 1/2 cup of the red velvet batter onto the center of the waffle iron.
- Drop a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture in the center of the batter and swirl gently with a toothpick.
- Close the waffle iron and cook for about 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Carefully remove the waffles and place them on a wire rack to cool slightly.
- Repeat with the remaining batter and cream cheese mixture.
- Stack or serve the waffles individually.
- Drizzle with maple syrup or chocolate sauce, and garnish with fresh berries, whipped cream, or powdered sugar.
- Add a dollop of the remaining cream cheese mixture on top of each waffle.
- Enjoy with family and friends!
