- â…” cup granulated sugar (133g)

- ¼ cup cocoa powder (25g)
- 2 cups whole milk (480ml)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed

Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients: In a medium saucepan, whisk together the granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, and cocoa powder until well combined, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Add milk: Gradually pour in the whole milk while whisking continuously to create a smooth mixture.
- Cook the mixture: Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and begins to bubble gently, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Add butter and vanilla: Remove the saucepan from heat, then stir in the cubed unsalted butter and vanilla extract until the butter melts completely and the gravy is glossy and smooth.
- Serve warm: Spoon the chocolate gravy over freshly baked warm biscuits and serve immediately for a decadent breakfast or dessert experience.
Notes
- Use whole milk for a creamier texture, but you can substitute with 2% milk if preferred.
- Stir constantly while cooking to prevent lumps and burning on the bottom of the pan.
- This gravy is best served fresh and warm, but can be reheated gently on the stovetop with a splash of milk to loosen the consistency.
- You can add a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness if desired.
- For extra richness, substitute butter with browned butter for a nuttier flavor.
