Instructions

- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
- In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, whole milk, egg, melted butter, vanilla extract, and red food coloring. Mix until smooth.
- Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Don’t overmix—lumps are okay! Let the batter sit for 10 minutes while you prepare the glaze.
- In a medium bowl, use a hand mixer (or whisk) to beat the cream cheese and butter together until fluffy.
- Add the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding a little more milk if needed. Set aside.
- Heat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the hot griddle. If the batter is thick, gently spread it out with the back of your measuring cup.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until the pancake is set and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes per side).
- Stack the pancakes on a plate, spreading a layer of cream cheese glaze between each one if desired. Add a drizzle on top for looks.
- Drizzle more glaze over the top and garnish with a dusting of powdered sugar, fresh berries, or a few heart-shaped sprinkles for an extra festive touch.
