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
- Add both sugars, flour, cocoa powder, salt, and espresso powder in a medium saucepan. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is free of lumps.
- Pour in the milk while whisking constantly. Continue whisking until smooth.
- 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.
- Allow the gravy to gently simmer for another minute. Continue to whisk to prevent scorching.
- 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.
