Chocolate scones are a rich, indulgent twist on classic scones, featuring a tender, crumbly texture and pockets of melted chocolate in every bite. Perfect for breakfast, snack, or dessert.

Ingredients

  • 250g all-purpose flour
  • 30g unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 60g granulated sugar
  • 100g cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 100g semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips (or chunks)
  • 180ml heavy cream or milk
  • 1 egg (for brushing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  3. Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter or fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in the chocolate chips or chunks.
  5. Pour in cream and mix gently with a fork until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
  6. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and shape into a round disk about 2.5 cm (1 inch) thick.
  7. Cut into triangles or use a round cutter, and place scones on the baking tray.
  8. Brush tops with beaten egg or milk.
  9. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until tops are slightly firm and fragrant.
  10. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Add white chocolate chips or vanilla for extra flavor.
  • For a mocha version, mix in 1 tsp instant coffee granules.
  • Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with melted chocolate after baking for decoration.
  • Chill shaped scones before baking for flakier texture.
  • Store at room temp for 2 days or freeze and reheat in oven to retain texture.
