Chocolate Coconut Scones Recipes

CHOCOLATE COCONUT SCONES

Steps:

• Lightly grease a baking sheet; set aside. In a medium mixing bowl combine flour, the 3 tablespoons sugar, the baking powder, and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in the center of dry mixture; set aside.
• In a small mixing bowl combine egg, coconut milk, coconut, and chocolate pieces. Add egg mixture all at once to flour mixture. Using a fork, stir just until moistened.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Quickly knead by folding and gently pressing dough for 10 to 12 strokes or until dough is nearly smooth. On the prepared baking sheet, pat or lightly roll dough into a 7-inch circle. Cut into 8 wedges; do not separate wedges. If desired, brush tops of scones with milk and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
• Bake in a 400 degree F oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden. Transfer to a wire rack to cool for 5 minutes. Separate scones. Cool completely. Transfer to an airtight container or bag and store at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Makes 8 scones.

CHOCOLATE-COCONUT SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Whisk together 3/4 cup cream and egg. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. With a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut butter into flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal, with a few pea-size pieces of butter remaining. Stir in coconut and chocolate. With a fork, stir in cream mixture until just combined. (The dough should be crumbly; do not overwork.)
• Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface and pat into a 6-inch circle. Cut into 6 wedges and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush tops with 1 tablespoon cream and sprinkle with sanding sugar, if desired. Bake until golden, 16 to 18 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through.

COCONUT DARK CHOCOLATE CHIP SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Combine flours, sugar, baking powder and salt.
• Cut in butter with a pastry blender.
• Add buttermilk and egg substitute, mix just until moistened.
• Mix in the coconut, chocolate chips and nuts, if desired.
• Divide dough in half. Pat each half into a flat circle and cut into eight wedges each.
• Place on parchment paper on a baking sheet.
• Bake 15 minutes.

COCONUT WHITE CHOCOLATE SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Mix in cold butter with 2 butter knives, or use your hands, until butter is mixed in and the dough is crumbly and pea sized. In a separate bowl, mix egg cream and vanilla. Add the wet into the dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Stir in 1/2 cup coconut. Form dough into a flat round disk, about 8-9 inches in diameter. Place on a baking sheet and cut into 12 triangles. Brush each triangle with a a little bit more cream (just enough so the coconut will stick) and then sprinkle with the coconut. Bake for 20-22 minutes. Melt white chocolate in the microwave on 50 percent power for 1 minute. Stir. If still not melted all the way, continue to microwave for 15 second increments, stirring after each until smooth. Drizzle melted chocolate over scones. Serve warm.
