Description

This rich and creamy chocolate gravy is the perfect topping for your biscuits, toast, or pancakes.


Ingredients

Scale
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar (packed)
  • 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder (optional)
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter (cut into pieces)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Add both sugars, flour, cocoa powder, salt, and espresso powder in a medium saucepan. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is free of lumps.
  2. Pour in the milk while whisking constantly. Continue whisking until smooth.
  3. Place the saucepan over medium heat. Cook, whisking constantly, until the gravy begins to bubble, which should take about 8-10 minutes. Make sure to scrape the bottom and corners of the pan.
  4. Allow the gravy to gently simmer for another minute. Continue to whisk to prevent scorching.
  5. Remove the pan from the heat. Add the butter and vanilla extract, whisking until the butter has melted. Serve warm over biscuits, toast, or pancakes.

Notes

  • This gravy is best served warm.
  • Feel free to adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sugar according to your taste.
