Ingredients:
- 1 cup sugar
- ¼ cup Hershey’s cocoa powder
- 2 cups milk
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp softened butter
- Biscuits (homemade or store-bought)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Chocolate Gravy:
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, flour, and milk until smooth and free of lumps.
- Cook the Gravy:
- Place the saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir frequently and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to medium and continue stirring frequently for about 5 minutes, or until the gravy reaches your desired thickness. Keep in mind that it will thicken slightly as it cools. Chocolate gravy should be a little runnier than traditional gravy.
- Finish the Gravy:
- Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and softened butter until fully incorporated.
- Serve:
- Serve the warm chocolate gravy over freshly baked biscuits. Enjoy immediately!
Tips:
- For extra richness, use whole milk or even half-and-half.
- Adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more or less sugar.
- Store leftover gravy in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of milk if needed to thin it out.
