MOM'S CHOCOLATE GRAVY

When Mom and Pop got married, Pop had to call Mamaw to get this recipe. When he was growing up, they were really poor (Papaw was a Baptist preacher and worked at various jobs. Back then life was hard for a preacher with 4 kids). This was one of their "desserts". Mom also made this when we were growing up and to this day, I still love a big hot heapin helpin. One might ask how do you eat "chocolate gravy"? With homemade "cat-head" biscuits (Mamaw called them this because she made them "big as a cat's head") or canned country-style (Do not try this with one of those flaky-type canned biscuits - it just isn't the same.) and a chunk of butter about the size of the tip of your thumb. Let it kinda melt, then eat away. This is just like any other gravy, other than the addition of the butter at the table. I eat this with milk or coffee as the beverage, as nothing else tastes good. This is Redneck comfort food at its finest! **Times and yield are approximate. Please z-mail me with what you come up with.**

Tips:

  • Use good quality cocoa powder for the best flavor. A darker cocoa powder will give a richer flavor.
  • If you don't have whole milk, you can use a mixture of half milk and half cream.
  • Do not boil the gravy after adding the chocolate, as this will cause the chocolate to curdle.
  • Serve the gravy immediately over your favorite pancakes, waffles, or French toast.
  • For a thicker gravy, add a cornstarch slurry (equal parts cornstarch and water) to the gravy and cook until thickened.
  • For a richer gravy, add a tablespoon of butter to the gravy after it has been removed from the heat.
  • For a vegan chocolate gravy, use almond milk, coconut milk, or oat milk instead of whole milk, and use vegan chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet chocolate.

Conclusion:

Mom's Chocolate Gravy is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast treat that is sure to please the whole family.
