Chocolate Gravy

I haven’t shared a recipe in a while so thought I would share another favorite recipe from my grandpa.  

Grandpa used to make this for all the grandkids as a special treat for breakfast, an afternoon snack, or after supper dessert.  BTW, the adults loved it also.

Never heard of chocolate gravy?  Oh my, you had a deprived childhood. LOL

And just how do you serve chocolate gravy you might ask.  With homemade or canned ‘country style’ biscuits. 
 

 
Ingredients
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup white granulated sugar
2 cups milk
1 tablespoon butter
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
 
Directions

1. Whisk the cocoa, flour, and sugar together in a saucepan until well-blended (no lumps of sugar or flour).
2. Add the milk slowly whisking it into the mixture.
3. Whisk until smooth.
4. Cook over medium heat, whisking frequently, until it is the consistency of gravy (approximately 8 to 10 minutes).
5. Remove from heat.
6. Whisk in butter and extract until the butter is melted.
7. Serve immediately over biscuits.

Notes

• Use a whisk throughout the mixing/stirring and you will not have any lumps.
• If the gravy gets too thick, you can add more milk a tablespoon at a time until it reaches the desired consistency.
• For a different flavor or if you don’t care for vanilla, you can substitute almond extract.
• You can substitute an equal amount of Stevia in the Raw, Splenda or any other sugar substitute for the granulated sugar.
•  DO NOT use the flaky type of canned biscuits.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask and if you try the recipe, as always, I would love any feedback you would care to give.


Hope you enjoy!
