For Serving (optional)

Method
 

  1. Whisk flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt for the red velvet batter in a bowl.
  2. Whisk buttermilk, egg, melted butter, red food coloring, and vanilla, then stir into red dry mix just until combined.
  3. Mix In a second bowl, whisk vanilla dry ingredients, then whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla; combine just until smooth.
  4. Beat cream cheese until smooth, mix in powdered sugar, then thin with milk and vanilla to a pourable drizzle.
  5. Heat waffle maker and lightly spray with cooking spray if needed.
  6. Add vanilla batter to the iron, dollop red velvet batter on top, then gently swirl with a toothpick for a marbled look.
  7. Close lid and cook 3–4 minutes (or until set and crisp). Repeat with remaining batter.
  8. Top with cream cheese drizzle, berries, and whipped cream. Add maple syrup if desired.

Notes

For best marbling, avoid over-mixing the two batters in the waffle iron. You can keep waffles warm in a low oven while cooking the rest.
