Leslee read my last post and wondered what Cocoa Gravy was and wanted to know more about it. I thought I would share this wonderful concoction with you. Your kids will love you for it. :o)
Cocoa Gravy is something my mother has cooked for us as long as I can remember. Her mother cooked it for her (and her 10 brothers and sisiters) and I ocassionally cook it for my girls. It is like slightly thinned pie filling or pudding and just so good. I don't know where it originated but there are recipes for it in all the church cookbooks in our area. They each vary a little but the end result is the same. When I first made it for CarlyJo she called it To-To Dravy, and that is what we actually call it around our house :o)
Cocoa Gravy/Chocolate Gravy/ToTo Dravy
1/4 c. sugar
1 T cocoa
2 T flour
1 c. milk (i make mine with skim)
1T margarine or butter
Stir sugar, cocoa and flour together in a sauce pan, gradually blend in milk. Cook over medium heat until thick, stirring constantly. Stir in margarine. Serve over biscuits or bread.
*you can also cook it in the microwave 2 minutes at a time until thick
Let me know if you try it. I am curious if anyone else has heard of it and cooks it?
never heard of it, sounds pretty low-fat?
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of it. I C&P'd the recipe. When I try it I will let you know. It sounds like it might be good for a quick desert.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Susie:Yea it's low fat if you only eat a little, but the big fat buttery biscuits make it SOOOOO good!
ReplyDeleteRaggedy: It is very quick and if you like chocolate pie you will love this. It isn't really icky sweet either.
Also never heard of it. I'd like to give it a try...
ReplyDeleteThanks for the repicee (that's CarlyJo for recipe).
Mmmm, sounds yummy. Almost like a thin custard, I guess. Must try it. Thanks, take care, Meow
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting the recipie! I'll let you know how Peanut likes it!
ReplyDeleteThe only place I have ever had chocolate gravy was on vacation (when I was a teen) we visited relatives and friends in AR & MO, and one of the ladies fixed it.
ReplyDeleteI had forgotten about it.
I need to get the cocoa, so I can make it for my family.
This sounds interesting. I'd like to try it with ice cream.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if it's any healthier than the jar of nutella that George likes to eat out of with a spoon while he's watching TV.
We loved it! thanks for sharing
