Ingredients

Units Scale

Dark Chocolate Raspberry Scones

  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra if dough is sticky
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 6 oz fresh raspberries, rinsed and dried
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1 stick (1/2 cup) cold unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup half-and-half
  • 1/2 cup French vanilla coffee creamer, plus 1-2 tablespoons extra for brushing

Icing Drizzle

  • 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 2-3 tablespoons French vanilla coffee creamer

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. In a bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  2. Use your hands to crumble the cold butter into the dry ingredients until pea-sized pieces remain.
  3. Gently fold in the raspberries and dark chocolate chips.
  4. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the half-and-half and 1/2 cup of French vanilla creamer. Gently combine until the dough just comes together. If very sticky, add a little more flour.
  5. Split the dough in half. Place both halves on a lightly floured surface and shape each into a round disk about 2 inches thick. Two disks make 12 regular scones; cut each disk into 6 wedges. For 24 mini scones, shape into 4 smaller disks and cut each into 6.
  6. Place the scones on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush the tops with the extra creamer.
  7. Bake for 20 minutes, until set.

Icing Drizzle

  1. Whisk the powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons of French vanilla creamer until smooth. Add more creamer a teaspoon at a time until you reach a thick but pourable consistency.
  2. Drizzle over the cooled scones. Store in a loosely sealed container for up to one week.

Notes

Work quickly with cold butter so the scones stay flaky. Shape the disks by hand rather than rolling — overworking the dough will make them tough.
