Cowboy Kent Rollins Chocolate Gravy & Biscuits

Chocolate Gravy and Biscuits

So many Christmas mornings in my house were spent with chocolate syrup on biscuits. I’ve seen some families use chocolate gravy with their biscuits, as well. I’m going to fix them both this year, using our 2-ingredient biscuits. Chocolate on biscuits has always been a huge treat for me, and I know you’ll enjoy them, too!

We appreciate you sharing our recipes with your friends and family!

Chocolate Syrup vs. Chocolate Gravy

The difference between chocolate syrup and chocolate gravy is whether it’s water based or milk based. For the chocolate gravy, we’ll use evaporated milk and some flour to thicken it up so it’ll stick to the biscuits better. The chocolate syrup will have the almost the same ingredients, but will be made with warm water.

2 Ingredient Biscuits

The full recipe for the 2-ingredient biscuits is at the bottom of this post. How is it possible to make biscuits with two ingredients? It’s simple – buy self rising flour and whipping cream. Mix together until you have a soft dough that doesn’t stick to your hands. Roll it out, and cut out your biscuits. Bake ’em, and while they’re baking, make the chocolate sauce. The original 2 ingredient biscuit recipe post is here.

Tip: Don’t preheat cast iron if you’re making biscuits, because they’ll burn.

If you’re cooking inside, bake at 350 for about 20 minutes or until they’re golden brown on top.

Chocolate Gravy

Start by adding the cocoa powder, sugar, and flour to a saucepan. Mix it up really well. You don’t want any cocoa to stick together in clumps – sift if you need to. Add a little cinnamon, and stir well.

Next, mix in your canned milk. You can use any milk or cream you have around the house, but I find that condensed milk makes a thicker gravy. Add the butter in, and stir constantly. Add a little Mexican vanilla and keep stirring. You don’t want to scorch the milk or sugar by leaving it too long.

Chocolate Syrup

Start again by mixing up the cocoa powder and sugar until they’re combined and smooth with no lumps. Add warm water and stir well. Add the butter and cook until the butter is melted. Add the vanilla in when the butter melts. It’s as simple as that, y’all.

2 Ingredient Biscuits – Cowboy Kent Rollins

Prep Time 5 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes
Servings 8 to 10 2 1/2 inch biscuits

Ingredients

  • 2 cups self-rising flour
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Butter a cast iron skillet or baking dish. We also prefer to use bacon grease for better crush and flavor.
  • Sift the flour into a medium bowl. Stir in the heavy cream, until combined.
  • Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Flour your hands, and knead the dough a few times. The outside of the dough shouldn’t be sticky, but the inside should still have some moisture.
  • Roll the dough out to about ½-inch thick. Using a biscuit cutter, cut the biscuits out and place in the skillet or dish. Brush with a little additional whipping cream.
  • Bake for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until a light golden brown. Brush a little melted better on top (optional) and serve.

Notes

You can make the dough ahead of time, cut the biscuits out and freeze. Bake them frozen, but your bake time may increase.
