Description

A creamy and rich chocolate gravy, perfect as a topping for biscuits, pound cake, or even ice cream. This southern-inspired recipe is simple, quick, and incredibly satisfying.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • Dry Ingredients

    • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
    • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    • 1 cup sugar
    • 1 pinch salt
  • Wet Ingredients

    • 1 1/2 cups milk
    • 3 tablespoons butter
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dry mixture: In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, sugar, and salt. Ensure all the dry ingredients are evenly combined.
  2. Add the milk: Gradually pour in the milk while whisking to ensure all lumps are dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Cook the gravy: Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook for 5 to 7 minutes. Stir constantly to prevent sticking, until the mixture starts to boil and thickens to a gravy-like consistency.
  4. Add butter and vanilla: Once the gravy thickens, remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the butter and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until the butter has completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
  5. Serve and enjoy: Serve the chocolate gravy warm over hot biscuits, pound cake, or ice cream for a delicious treat.

Notes

  • Use high-quality cocoa powder for a richer chocolate flavor.
  • Ensure you whisk constantly while cooking to avoid lumps or scorching.
  • This gravy pairs beautifully with a variety of desserts as well as breakfast items.
