I made this recipe for my Momma on Mother's Day last year! She is my best friend and my cooking mentor so I know she's gonna love this Southern brunch :) These chocolate waffles are rich and moist and the sweet cream cheese glaze and crunchy pecan topping makes them a decadent and delicious meal that any mother would love!

How to Make Red Velvet Waffles with Cream Cheese Glaze

Step-by-Step

Heat up waffle maker. Mix waffle mix and eggs, water, and oil according to pkg instructions.
Add cocoa powder to waffle mix and blend.
Add red food coloring slowly until you get the "red velvet" color you want. Cook waffles in waffle maker. This will make 5-6 Belgian waffles or 10 regular waffles.
With a mixer blend together cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk. Pour glaze into a saucepan and warm on med-low. Stir frequently.
Serve Red Velvet Waffles with warm cream cheese glaze and toasted pecans on top and a side of fruit and bacon. YUM!
