I originally made this recipe for my as a Mother’s Day brunch for my Mom on Mother’s Day. I was on a cream cheese kick during the Real Women of Philadelphia cooking contest that I participated in two years in a row. Then as a member of the recipe sharing site Just a Pinch, they chose this recipe as a Blue Ribbon winner.
I thought I would share this recipe today during Valentine’s week since it is a decedent and delicious meal perfect for your sweetheart! Whether you serve it as a romantic brunch or even a chocolate- lovers dessert this is sure to be a hit with your special someone this Valentine’s!

Ingredients:
Makes 4-5 servings
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 cup water
- 3 cups waffle mix
- 3 oz cream cheese, softened
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
- 3 tablespoon milk
- 1/2 bottle red food coloring (approx 25 drops)
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans, lightly toasted
I’m loving the breakfast food kick you’re on! Waffles (with fried chicken, if available) is my favorite go-to breakfast. I just picked up red velvet emulsion too! I think I could add that to these.
