Strawberry White Chocolate Scones

Written by Grace on in Thinking Fruitful

I just made these Strawberry White Chocolate Scones like 4 days ago…and they’re already going on the blog.

That should tell you that these scones are bomb!

I even made these with the last of my half-bucket of strawberries that were becoming little prunes. Even slightly sad strawberries taste sweet and complex in these scones.

And then there’s the white chocolate. When I was younger, I loved white chocolate, specifically the Hershey’s Cookies N’ Creme bar. And then, growing up, I turned against it and thought dark chocolate was the only way to go. And then, after traveling in France and the UK over the past few years, I re-discovered the beauty of white chocolate. And I’m giving you the freedom to also love it.

White chocolate chips are absolutely amazing in scones that are buttery and balance between sweet and savory.

So, take those two things, put them together in this incredible scone combo.

Happy spring/summer!

Prep Time

Cook Time
13 minutes
Total Time
23 minutes
Servings
12 scones

Ingredients

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/8 tsp. salt
  • 1/3 cup butter, chilled
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream (plus extra for brushing on top)
  • 1 egg
  • 1.5 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup white chocolate chips
  • 5 strawberries, washed, hulled and diced

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 425 F. Prepare a baking sheet with a Silpat or parchment paper.

  2. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut the butter into 1/2" cubes and distribute over the flour mixture. With a pastry blender or two knives used scissor fashion (or just using your fingers), cut in the butter until the mixture is like coarse crumbs.

  3. In a small bowl, stir together the cream, egg and vanilla. Add the cream mixture to the flour mixture and stir until combined. Fold in the diced strawberries and white chocolate chips.

  4. Dust flour on the counter or a cutting board and pat the dough into a 1/2" thickness. Grab a biscuit cutter or glass and dip in flour, then cut out rounds from the dough (without twisting cutter) and place spaced out on prepared baking sheet.

  5. Brush the scones lightly with cream and bake for 13-15 minutes, or until lightly browned. Cool scones on a wire rack.
