Description

This easy 3-ingredient chocolate gravy is a simple, Southern-style treat that’s perfect for drizzling over warm biscuits, pancakes, or waffles. Made with just cocoa powder, sugar, and milk, this rich, velvety chocolate sauce comes together in less than 10 minutes for a quick and nostalgic breakfast or dessert!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups whole milk

Instructions

  • Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cocoa powder and sugar until fully mixed.

  • Add Milk: Slowly pour in the milk, whisking continuously to prevent lumps.

  • Cook the Gravy: Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens into a smooth, pourable gravy (about 5-7 minutes).

  • Serve Warm: Pour the chocolate gravy over biscuits, pancakes, or waffles and enjoy immediately!

Notes

  • For Extra Creaminess: Swap whole milk with half-and-half or evaporated milk.
  • Flavor Boost: Add a pinch of salt or a splash of vanilla extract for depth.
  • Thicker Consistency: Let it simmer longer or mix in 1 teaspoon of cornstarch dissolved in water.
  • Storage Tip: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat over low heat, stirring frequently.
