Velvet Cream Cheese Spread
3 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon sugar
Waffles
3/4 cup plump raisins
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon double-acting baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons firmly packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons sugar
1 3/4 cups buttermilk
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs

1
Make the spread: beat the cream cheese and heavy cream together in a small bowl with a hand-held mixer; beat in the cinnamon and sugar; cover and refrigerate until needed (keeps for up to 5 days).
2
Make the waffles: if your raisins aren't moist and plump, place them in a heatproof bowl and pour boiling water over them; let the raisins steep for a minute, drain, turn out onto a paper towel and pat dry; set aside.
3
Preheat waffle iron; if you want to hold the finished waffles until serving, preheat oven to 200u00b0.
4
Melt the butter; reserve.
5
In a big bowl, whisk the flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until combined; whisk in both the sugars.
6
In another bowl, beat together the buttermilk, vanilla, and eggs with a whisk until well mixed.
7
Pour the liquid ingredients over the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined; fold in the raisins and melted butter into the batter.
8
Lightly butter or spray the grids of your iron.; brush or spray the grids again only if subsequent waffles stick.
9
Spoon out 1/2 to 2/3 cup of batter onto the iron; use a metal spatula or wooden spoon to spread it almost to the edge of the grids.
10
Close the lid and bake until browned and set.
11
Serve the waffles immediately or keep them, in single layer, on a rack in the preheated oven while you make the rest of the batch.
12
Serve topped with Velvet Cream Cheese Spread.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
