Dark Chocolate Raspberry Scone Recipe

October 24, 2019 by Tiffany Davis 2 Comments

Dark chocolate raspberry scones, doesn’t that just make your mouth water? I predict that this scone recipe is going to quickly become your favorite! There is something about the rich dark chocolate that plays perfectly off the sweet/tart of a raspberry that just makes it the perfect combination for scones.

Delicious and easy to make chocolate raspberry scone recipe. Perfect for brunch, breakfast or tea time!

It feels wrong to talk about a delicious scone recipe without talking about my favorite Netflix show The Great British Bake Off!

Have you seen this? The show challenges 12 – 13 of the best amateur bakers to do a series of themed bakes each week…the worst of the bunch is sent packing at the end of each show. This happens until only the 3 best bakers remain for the final showdown.

My daughter and I love this show, not only for the baking but the wonderful British terms and accents. You can read more about my love of all things British in one of my earliest posts to the blog: My TV Jumped the Pond for Tea and Biscuits!

What is a scone?

Scones are traditionally considered a British baked good. They are very similar to the US biscuit with a few distinct differences. Scones, for one, have eggs in them, biscuits to not. Scones can come in both sweet and savory varieties with different additives like berries, chocolates or meats and vegetables.

You can see my favorite drop biscuit recipe here!

Are scones hard to make?

Well I don’t think they are hard but they do take some work, as any homemade baking does. I don’t knead my biscuits but you’ll need to do a bit of kneading for the scone recipe to come out right.

But air on the side of caution because too much kneading will make for a tough finished scone. I’ll say I think the dark chocolate raspberry scone recipe is pretty easy to make.

What are scones commonly made from?

Most scone recipes are made from a wheat flour, a leavening agent like baking powder and eggs. There are variations with the dairy components and of course the fillings (though some are plain).

What is the correct shape for a scone?

The traditional shape for a scone is triangular but I have seen them shaped circular, more like a biscuit. For a traditional scone, this can be accomplished in a few different ways. I think my recipe offers the easiest scone recipe shaping! But if you have tips on shaping scones, feel free to leave that in the comments.

How to Serve Scones

Traditionally scones are served with clotted cream and jam. They would often be eaten at afternoon tea but you can eat them for breakfast, brunch, with coffee or even as a dessert!

You can make your own clotted cream with a recipe like this or purchase it in jars.
