Warm, rich, and comforting, this old-fashioned Southern chocolate gravy is a beloved tradition. Poured over fluffy biscuits, it’s a memory-making recipe that’s easy, fun, and irresistibly chocolatey.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups sugar
- 4 ½ Tablespoons cocoa powder
- 3 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- 2 Tablespoons salted butter
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon white Karo syrup
Instructions
- Whisk sugar, cocoa, and flour together in a bowl. Add milk and whisk smooth.
- Pour into a saucepan; cook over medium-high heat 8 to 10 minutes until bubbly and thickened, ( and coats the back of the spoon. This is a great old- fashioned way to tell if it’s done.) whisking constantly.
- Remove from heat; stir in butter, vanilla, and Karo syrup.
- Serve hot over biscuits.
Notes
- Hershey’s cocoa gives it that nostalgic, old-fashioned flavor.
- Add espresso powder for a coffee-kissed variation.
- Perfect as a dip or drizzle for entertaining.
