Ingredients
- 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.
