How to Make Chocolate Gravy
Step 1 – In a medium mixing bowl combine the cocoa, all purpose flour, sugar and salt together.
Step 2 – Add the milk and mix until well combined with dry ingredients.
Step 3 – Pour the mixture into a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce thicken to the texture that is similar to gravy. This will take about 7-10 minutes

Recipe Tips
- Thinner Sauce – If you prefer a thinner sauce, add in more milk.
- Thicker Sauce – As the ingredients are combined in the saucepan it will thicken. If it doesn’t thicken, you may need to add in more flour. You may even need to make a cornstarch slurry with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water.
- Cooking the Gravy – Once the gravy mixture is placed in the saucepan, continue to stir until the gravy thickens. This will ensure that the mixture does not burn. This gravy is best served warm.
Serving Suggestions
This chocolate gravy can also be served as a dessert. But typically we love it over hot buttermilk biscuits, pancakes, and Cinnamon French Toast.
If you prefer to serve it as a dessert, it is delicious over ice cream or pound cake. I grew up eating this chocolate gravy and now I share it with my family for a delicious classic recipe.
