Ingredients

2/3 cup Swerve, Confectioners
3½ tablespoons cocoa powder
1½ cups whole milk
2 tablespoon butter
½ tsp xanthan gum

Instructions

In a medium size bowl, mix the Swerve and cocoa powder together until there are no lumps.
Add the milk to dry ingredients. Stir to combine.
In large sauté pan or black iron skillet, melt butter. Add the milk mixture and cook on medium heat, stirring every two minutes for about 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes, whisk aggressively again and serve. The gravy will thicken the longer it cools before serving.
