Chocolate Gravy

The Southern Rustic

Featured: Biscuits with chocolate gravy, waffles with maple syrup (for picture), bacon, and eggs.

You probably have never heard of chocolate gravy if you are not from the South. This is not something you would put on a dessert like pie or ice cream but you actually put it on pancakes, biscuits, or waffles. It is also not served every day. It is more like a special occasion thing. This is typically served during family gatherings such as birthdays, Thanksgiving, or Christmas because it is so rich.

Now I know that the name may have turned you off to the idea of chocolate gravy but don’t knock it till you try it and whatever you do always keep it for special occasions or for that Sunday breakfast you occasionally have with family. lol. With that being said let me share with you how to make it.

INGREDIENTS:

1 C. Sugar
3 Tbsp. Cocoa Powder
3 Tbsp. Flour
1 Tsp. Baking Soda
1/4 Tsp. Salt
1 Tbsp. Butter
1 1/2 C. Milk

DIRECTIONS:

  1. In a bowl or a dry skillet whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, flour, baking soda, and salt.
  2. Slowly whisk in the milk to incorporate well.
  3. Turn the heat to medium and whisk constantly until the mixture begins to bubble. About 5 minutes. Turn the heat to low and continue to whisk until the mixture has thickened. This should take about 5 more minutes.
  4. Turn the heat off and whisk in the butter until it is fully melted.
  5. Pour the mixture into a serving bowl or gravy boat and serve.

  • I like to serve this with biscuits, pancakes, or waffles. I typically do not serve any maple syrup with this as this is really sweet and it will not need any extra syrups.
  • This will keep in the fridge for up to 1 week.
  • If you want to try to cut down on some of the richness of the gravy you can pair your breakfast with some fresh fruit like strawberries or blueberries. Any fruit will do or whatever fruit you like or prefer.

Hello Everyone! Thank you so much for stopping by. Let me tell you a little bit about me. I am a mom of two, a stepmom of 1, two wild and silly pups, and I have the best husband in the world. I also have a love of cooking and baking. I am always in the kitchen finding new recipes to try, recreating old family recipes, and reminiscing about the old ways. I am vintage at heart and love all things old and cast iron. I love spending time with the family and pups and just going where life takes us. I created my blog a few years ago with my youtube channel because I thought that If I shared a recipe, then people just might like to see just how the recipe is put together. I share all of my family recipes along with today's recipes. Whether it is old-fashioned recipes, sourdough, einkorn, desserts, sheet pan meals, or even crockpot meals, they are all absolutely delicious. I spend hours, if not days, creating and dabbling with recipes to make sure they are the best for you and your family. All of my recipes are family tested and family-approved before they are ever posted to my blog or youtube channel. Every now and again I will share some behind-the-scenes fun and chaos of our creations and family adventures. I hope you all stick around and join us here at The Southern Rustic and see what we cook up in my kitchen. You can find all of my social media information in the Contact/Donate OR the Social Media Accounts tab on my home page. There I have listed my Instagram pages, YouTube channel, Email, and other information so you can easily find everything in one place. I hope that you all have a wonderful, wonderful day and I will see you soon. Sam TheSouthernRustic
