Chocolate gravy is a delicious chocolate sauce that is very popular in the South and is made with cocoa powder, sugar, flour, butter, and milk. Chocolate gravy is like a cross between chocolate pudding and chocolate dessert sauce and tastes phenomenal poured over buttery homemade biscuits!

Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups milk whole or 2%
- 1 tablespoon molasses see note
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Homemade buttermilk biscuits for serving
Instructions
- Add the granulated sugar, cocoa powder, flour, and salt to a medium saucepan and mix with a silicone whisk until well combined.
- Pour in the milk and molasses and whisk into the cocoa powder mixture until no lumps remain. Heat the sauce over medium heat and cook, while whisking constantly, for 5 to 7 minutes or until the sauce thickens to a gravy consistency and begins to bubble.
- Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract. Serve chocolate gravy warm poured over warm, buttery biscuits.
Notes
- Molasses is completely optional but adds the most delicious, subtle caramel-like flavor to the sauce. I recommend light or medium molasses such as Grandma's.
- If you need to thin out your chocolate gravy, just add 1 to 2 more tablespoons of milk.
- Leftover chocolate gravy can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
