Ingredients for Chocolate Gravy
  • Making homemade chocolate gravy is easier than you think! With just a few pantry staples you’ll have a rich and creamy sauce ready in minutes. Here’s what you’ll need:
Essential Ingredients
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder – Gives the gravy its deep chocolatey flavor.
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar – Adds the perfect amount of sweetness.
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour – Helps thicken the gravy for a smooth silky texture.
  • Pinch of salt – Enhances the richness and balances the sweetness.
  • 1 ½ cups whole milk – Creates a creamy consistency you can also use half-and-half for extra richness.
  • 1 tablespoon butter – Adds a velvety finish and enhances the flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract – Brings out the deep chocolate notes for a well-rounded taste.
Optional Add-Ins for Extra Flavor

How to Make Chocolate Gravy
  1. Making homemade chocolate gravy is quick and easy, requiring just a few simple steps. Follow this fail-proof method, and you’ll have a rich, velvety sauce perfect for drizzling over biscuits, pancakes, or waffles.
Step-by-Step Instructions
    1️-Mix the Dry Ingredients
    1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cocoa powder, sugar, flour, and salt. This ensures there are no lumps and helps evenly distribute the ingredients.
    2- Add the Milk Gradually
    1. Slowly pour in the milk, whisking continuously to create a smooth mixture. This prevents clumping and helps the flour blend seamlessly into the liquid.
    3-Cook Until Thickened
    1. Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly. As the mixture heats up, it will gradually thicken—this usually takes about 5-7 minutes. Be patient and keep stirring to prevent scorching.
    4-Finish with Butter and Vanilla
    1. Once the gravy has reached a silky, pudding-like consistency, remove it from the heat. Stir in the butter and vanilla extract, letting them melt into the sauce for an extra rich and creamy texture.
    5-Serve Warm and Enjoy
    1. Pour the warm chocolate gravy over freshly baked biscuits, pancakes, or waffles. It’s best enjoyed immediately while still smooth and pourable.
