Instructions

Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, you can substitute half of the milk with heavy cream. If you prefer a less sweet gravy, reduce the sugar to 3/4 cup. Make sure to stir constantly to prevent the mixture from sticking to the bottom of the saucepan. If you want to add a twist, consider incorporating a teaspoon of vanilla extract for extra flavor.

Serve this chocolate gravy warm over freshly baked biscuits for a classic breakfast treat. It also pairs beautifully with pancakes or waffles for a delightful brunch. For an indulgent dessert, try drizzling it over ice cream or serving it alongside Soft 'Archway' Cookies for a sweet combination.
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 stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of milk to restore the desired consistency. Stir frequently to prevent burning.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use dark cocoa powder instead of regular cocoa?
Yes, using dark cocoa powder will give your chocolate gravy a richer flavor. Just keep in mind that it may also make the gravy slightly more bitter, so you might want to adjust the sugar to taste.
Is this recipe suitable for vegans?
Unfortunately, this recipe is not vegan due to the use of milk. However, you can easily substitute the milk with a non-dairy alternative like almond milk or oat milk to make it vegan-friendly.
Can I freeze chocolate gravy?
Freezing chocolate gravy is not recommended, as it may change texture when thawed. Instead, make only what you can consume within a few days or store leftovers in the fridge for later use.
