Preheat the waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

In another bowl, mix the sugar, eggs, buttermilk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and red food coloring until well combined.

Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and mix until just combined; do not overmix.

Grease the preheated waffle iron lightly with cooking spray or oil.

Pour the batter into the waffle iron, filling it about two-thirds full.

Close the waffle iron and cook until the waffles are crisp and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes.

Carefully remove the waffles and keep warm while you repeat with the remaining batter.

In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and milk until smooth to create the glaze.

Serve the waffles topped with the cream cheese glaze and whipped cream.
