Last week was a bit of a doozy. It started out with a work trip for me
and a vet trip for Harrison.
By mid-week I had come down with a killer cold and Harrison was sporting what appeared to be a Snookie-esque boot
Luckily I was feeling better by Saturday, when Moose and I enjoyed a ride through traffic
to his happy place.
Today all I want is a giant blanket, a nap, some kitteh snuggles and this chocolate gravy. Yeah I really just said that. Chocolate gravy.
Chocolate Gravy
Recipe adapted from The Homesick Texan
Makes approximately 12 ounces of gravy
Printable recipe
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup vegan refined sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 cups vanilla soy milk*
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Earth Balance Natural Buttery Spread
This gravy is simple to make and it gives you an excuse to pour chocolate over top of every food on your plate, during every meal, every single day.
First gather all of your dry ingredients
and whisk them together in a saucepan
Add in the milk and cook over medium heat, stirring very frequently until the mixture bubbles and thickens. It should take 10-15 minutes. Don’t overheat the gravy, but if it’s not bubbling after 8 minutes, turn the heat up just a bit. Stir in the vanilla and the Earth Balance and remove the saucepan from the heat. Let the gravy sit and thicken for another 3-5 minutes without stirring, then eat up!
Comfort food, meet my belly.
Is it still gravy if you drink it? Just kidding, no I’m not kidding.
What’s up with Harrison? His foot hair cut is mighty fancy, I bet it came with a cone. Cats love those, eye roll.
The poor baby had a root canal. No cone, but he did get sent home with some pain drugs.
Chocolate gravy? I think I must be in heaven. I must be.
looks incredibly yummy!!!!!
Ooh, yummers!
And I like Harri’s little boot! I hope you’re feeling much, much better now.
Oh. Wow. I think this will be made here very soon. I can come up with so many things to put it on top of…..
Aww poor kitty! Hope he gets better soon.
Is the Earth Balance Natural Buttery Spread a nut based kinda spread? Or still butter but organic? I’d love to poor this gravy over a huge stack of cripy bacon….yum!
It’s a vegan “butter” made with natural oils, but if you’re not vegan you can just use plain old butter. The original recipe calls for butter and I bet it tastes great.
AWH, poor Harrison.
Chocolate Gravy?! That settles it. I HAVE to come live with you.
I hope you’re feeling better! But how could you not be… chocolate gravy!?!?! I want some for breakfast tomorrow!
