1/2 tsp. baking soda
4 oz. (1/2 of 8-oz. pkg.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, cubed
6 Tbsp. cold butter, divided
1-3/4 cups milk, divided
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp. vanilla

Steps:

Heat oven to 450°F.
Combine 2 cups flour and 1 Tbsp. sugar with baking powder and baking soda in large bowl. Cut in cream cheese and 4 Tbsp. butter with pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add 3/4 cup milk; stir until mixture forms soft dough.
Place dough on lightly floured surface; sprinkle lightly with additional flour. Roll into 12x8-inch rectangle; fold crosswise in half. Repeat rolling and folding three more times.
Press dough gently onto bottom of 9-inch square pan sprayed with cooking spray.
Bake 15 to 20 min. or until golden brown; cool slightly.
Meanwhile, whisk cocoa powder with remaining flour, sugar and milk in medium saucepan until blended; cook, stirring constantly, over medium heat 5 to 7 min. or until thickened. Remove saucepan from heat. Add vanilla and remaining butter; stir until butter is completely melted and mixture is well blended.
Cut warm biscuit into 12 rectangles. Serve topped with chocolate gravy.
