Last year, I brought my favorite Apple Cinnamon Waffles with Pancetta and Apple Cider Syrup so for this year I had to top that one. These Red Velvet Waffles with Bourbon Cherry Syrup and Cream Cheese Drizzle are the ultimate in waffle decadence!
Let me tell you what inspired these over the top waffles. There is a divine restaurant here in Philly called Supper and if you want a fabulous weekend brunch – that’s a must visit spot. They have this Red Velvet Waffle that is so decadent that you will swoon with each bite – it’s rich, dark and full of red velvet goodness. However, I have the patience of a gnat and waiting overnight for the waffle batter is a no go.
I made a huge waffle oops with this recipe – while whisking the wet ingredients, I totally spaced and added the red food coloring after the initial batter mix. Thankfully this batter is forgiving so I was able to fold it in with no worries. I used a natural red food coloring that I love so while it’s not bright acid red, it’s still red velvet by my recipe book. Feel free to use any red food coloring that you adore. Also – the cream cheese drizzle aka glaze is so good I had to resist my inner Nigella and not keep some of that in the fridge for a midnight bite. It’s so good and not too cloyingly sweet that I joked it should be bottled. Cream cheese drizzle on everything! The Bourbon Cherry Syrup is perfect over these waffles or would be fantastic over pound cake, ice cream or whatever your heart desires. All of these components together make the ultimate red velvet waffle!
So – for your next brunch, whip up these Red Velvet Waffles with Bourbon Cherry Syrup and Cream Cheese Drizzle – it’s up to you whether or not to share your top secret recipe!
