Air Fryer Chocolate Gravy and Biscuits

Chocolate gravy and biscuits is a Southern classic that has been passed down through generations. It’s a dish that combines the comforting warmth of homemade biscuits with the rich, velvety smoothness of chocolate gravy. This indulgent treat is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even dessert. While traditionally made on the stovetop, we’ve taken the liberty of updating this recipe for modern kitchens by incorporating the air fryer, ensuring the biscuits are perfectly golden and fluffy with minimal effort.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup Hershey’s cocoa
  • 2 cups milk
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tbsp softened butter
  • 1 can of refrigerated biscuit dough

Instructions:

  1. Prepare Biscuits: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Place the refrigerated biscuits in the air fryer basket, ensuring they don’t touch. Air fry for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown, flipping halfway through.
  2. Make the Chocolate Gravy: In a medium saucepan, whisk together sugar, cocoa, flour, and milk until smooth and lump-free.
  3. Cook the Gravy: Cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently until the mixture comes to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and continue stirring for about 5 minutes until it reaches your desired thickness. Remember, chocolate gravy should be slightly runnier than traditional gravy.
  4. Finish the Gravy: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla and softened butter until fully combined.
  5. Serve: Split open the freshly air-fried biscuits and drizzle generously with chocolate gravy. Enjoy!

Tips for Perfect Chocolate Gravy and Biscuits:

  1. Avoid Lumps: To ensure your chocolate gravy is smooth and lump-free, make sure to whisk the dry ingredients together thoroughly before adding the milk. Also, add the milk gradually while whisking to prevent clumping.
  2. Air Fryer Variations: Air fryer models can vary, so it’s important to keep an eye on the biscuits as they cook. If your biscuits are browning too quickly, you can reduce the temperature slightly and cook them a bit longer.
  3. Alternative Flours: If you prefer a gluten-free option, you can substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. The consistency may vary slightly, so adjust the cooking time as needed.
  4. Storing Leftovers: If you have leftovers, store the biscuits and chocolate gravy separately in airtight containers. The biscuits can be reheated in the air fryer at 300°F (150°C) for a few minutes, and the gravy can be reheated in the microwave or on the stovetop over low heat.
  5. Customization: Feel free to customize this recipe by adding a pinch of cinnamon or a dash of espresso powder to the chocolate gravy for an extra depth of flavor.
