Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients in a large saucepan.
- Add milk to the dry mixture.
- Cook until the mixture thickens to the consistency of gravy.
- Pour over homemade biscuits and serve.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, try adding a pinch of salt or a splash of vanilla extract to the chocolate gravy. If you're out of cocoa, you can substitute it with carob powder for a different taste. To thicken more quickly, whisk continuously while cooking to prevent lumps. For a lighter version, use low-fat milk or a non-dairy alternative.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the chocolate gravy hot over freshly baked homemade biscuits for a classic breakfast treat. It also pairs well with pancakes or waffles. For a delightful brunch, consider serving it alongside fresh fruit or a side of American Potato Salad. A dollop of whipped cream on top can add an extra touch of indulgence.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover chocolate gravy in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, gently warm it on the stove over low heat, stirring frequently, or microwave in short intervals, stirring in between, until heated through. You may need to add a splash of milk to restore the desired consistency.
