Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons white sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
¾ teaspoon salt
1 ¾ cups buttermilk
⅓ cup melted butter, cooled
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
½ teaspoon white vinegar
1 tablespoon red velvet food coloring (such as Lorann Professional Kitchen) Red Velvet Bakery Emulsion) or as desired
6 ounces cream cheese, softened
6 tablespoons butter, softened
2 cups confectioners' sugar (Optional)
½ cup whole milk, or more as needed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar, or to taste (Optional)
6 tablespoons whipped cream, or to taste (Optional)
1 cup sliced strawberries, or to taste (Optional)

Make waffles: Whisk flour, white sugar, baking powder, cocoa powder, and salt together in a medium bowl.
Beat buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, vanilla, and vinegar together in a large bowl until smooth. Stir in red food coloring. Add flour mixture; mix until just combined.
Preheat a waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.
While the waffle iron is heating, make glaze: Beat cream cheese and butter together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy. Gradually mix in confectioners' sugar, alternating with milk and vanilla, until smooth. Set aside.
Spoon 1/4 to 1/2 cup waffle batter into the preheated waffle iron. Cook according to manufacturer's directions. Repeat with remaining batter.
Lightly dust each waffle with confectioners' sugar, drizzle with glaze, and top with whipped cream and strawberries.
