Description

These chocolate-covered strawberry scone sandwiches combine crumbly homemade scones, a fresh strawberry cream filling, and a rich chocolate shell for a nostalgic yet modern dessert that’s easy to make and perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 2/3 cup (160ml) heavy cream, plus more for brushing
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (70g) chopped fresh strawberries (pat dry)
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup (30g) powdered sugar
  • 1/3 cup (50g) finely diced fresh strawberries
  • 1 tablespoon strawberry jam (optional)
  • 6 ounces (170g) semi-sweet or dark chocolate, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons coconut oil or vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pat your strawberries dry if they’re extra juicy.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Add cold butter and use a pastry cutter, two forks, or your fingers to mix until the butter is in pea-sized pieces.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk heavy cream, egg, and vanilla. Pour into the flour mixture and stir gently until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in chopped strawberries.
  6. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Pat into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Cut into 8 even squares or triangles. Place on baking sheet.
  7. Brush tops with a bit of cream. Bake for 15-18 minutes, until puffed and golden.
  8. Transfer scones to a wire rack and let cool completely.
  9. For the filling, whip heavy cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Fold in diced strawberries and jam (if using). Chill briefly.
  10. Slice cooled scones in half horizontally. Spread or pipe strawberry cream on the bottom half, then top with the other half to make a sandwich.
  11. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate and oil. Microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring after each, until smooth.
  12. Holding each sandwich, dip half into the melted chocolate. Let excess drip off. Place on rack or parchment and let set.
  13. Optional: Drizzle remaining chocolate over the top or sprinkle with chopped freeze-dried strawberries.

Notes

For best results, keep butter cold and do not overmix the dough. Let scones cool completely before dipping in chocolate. You can substitute gluten-free flour or dairy-free alternatives as needed. Scones can be made ahead and filled/dipped before serving. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
