1. In a large bowl whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, cinnamon and salt to aerate them. In another bowl whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, red food coloring and distilled white vinegar. Pour those wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and gently whisk it all together just until a smooth batter forms. A few lumps are OK! At this point the batter can be covered and refrigerated overnight if needed.

2. When you are ready to make the waffles, preheat the waffle iron. Be sure to check the manufacturer's instructions on your particular waffle iron to get the best results. Liberally spray the iron with cooking spray to prevent any sticking. Scoop about 1/4 of the batter to just cover the bottom of the iron, then close it and let it cook for about 5 minutes.

3. When it is done, remove it to a plate and repeat the process with the remainder of the batter to get 4 waffles total. While the waffles cook, prepare the cream cheese topping. Combine the cream cheese, milk, maple syrup, granulated sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Use a hand mixer to whip it into a uniform mixture.

4. When the waffles are all done and plated, simply scoop a big dollop of the cream cheese mixture on top. Then add an extra decadent touch by shaving bittersweet chocolate with a fine grater on top! Serve immediately and enjoy

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.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
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.
