Chocolate gravy is a decadent Southern treat, perfect for drizzling over warm biscuits, pancakes, or waffles. With just a few simple ingredients—cocoa powder, sugar, milk, butter, and vanilla—you can create a rich, velvety sauce that adds a sweet, indulgent twist to any breakfast.
To make chocolate gravy, start by mixing cocoa powder, flour, and sugar in a saucepan, then slowly whisk in milk to form a smooth base. As the mixture heats up, it thickens into a glossy, creamy gravy. Add butter and vanilla for richness, and a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness.
Serve it hot over biscuits for a true Southern comfort food experience, or experiment with variations like peanut butter or caramel chocolate gravy to make it uniquely yours.
