Chocolate Gravy

I was first exposed to chocolate gravy on a trip to North Carolina for my husband’s family reunion.  Chocolate gravy is traditionally served over biscuits, but I prefer waffles and French toast.  Tonight I made chocolate gravy over French toast on brioche bread with strawberries, blueberries, and powdered sugar.  Oh so good!

Ingredients:

1 ½ cups sugar (I used calorie free truvia)

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

3 tablespoons cocoa powder

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ cup water

1 ½ cups nonfat milk

Directions:

1. Mix sugar, flour, and cocoa powder in a medium saucepan. 
2. Stir in the water and begin to heat to medium heat. Stir for 1 minute.
3. Add milk and vanilla extract and continue to stir scraping the edges and bottom of the pan.
4. Allow to heat until the mixture thickens stirring often.
5. Remove from heat and serve over biscuits, waffles, French toast, pancakes, etc…
6. Enjoy!
