I grew up in a home where from-scratch treats were a regular occurrence. One of my favorite memories is when my dad would randomly make Chocolate Chip Cookies. It didn’t have to be a holiday, birthday, or special event. He would just make them whenever the mood hit him. It was always a much welcomed surprise for my brother and I, and most definitely helped develop my sweet tooth.

As I’ve grown, have kids of my own, and am a crazy cooking and baking machine, I’ve expanded my tastes a bit. While I still love all the chocolate, I’m also really learning to love sweets using fruits. When you can call it breakfast, like with scones or Blueberry Muffins, even better.

With spring just around the corner, I decided to make an easy scone recipe that would be mouth-watering delicious and perfect for the season and events like Easter brunch! Raspberries and white chocolate seemed like the perfect choices for this recipe.

Why This Recipe Works

  • Every bite of these scones is a mix of buttery dough, sweet white chocolate, and tart raspberries.
  • This is a great recipe for breakfast with a cup of coffee or tea, or enjoy them as a snack later in the day.
  • You can serve scones warm or at room temperature.

How to Make White Chocolate Raspberry Scones

Dry Ingredients for Scones in a Silver Mixing Bowl on a white backdrop

Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl and mix to combine.

Course crumbles of flour and butter for scones in a silver mixing bowl on a white backdrop

Cut in the butter using a pastry blender or fork until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Tip: make sure the butter is very cold for the best results.

Scones dough in a silver mixing bowl on a white backdrop

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and 1/2 C of the heavy cream.

Mix into the flour, adding extra heavy cream as needed (I used a cup total) to get the dough to just stick together.

Add the white chocolate chips and raspberries and combine.  I find it easiest to get a little messy and just use my hands.  The raspberries will break apart, but that’s okay!

White Chocolate Raspberry Scones dough shaped into a circle

Divide the dough in half and shape it into two round circles, about 1/2 to 3/4-inches high. Cut into 6 triangles.

Tip: this is the point where if you want to freeze the scones dough, you can. Either wrap the disc whole tightly in plastic wrap, or cut the dough into triangles and wrap tightly with plastic wrap. Bake within a month for best results. If baking from frozen, you will need to add a few minutes to the bake time.

Place on a baking sheet lined with a Silpat Mat if you have one, or parchment paper.

Bake for 10-12 minutes until just lightly browned on top.

These scones look pretty all on their own, but even more special when set out on a colorful serving tray at brunch!

Tips & Techniques for the Best White Chocolate Raspberry Scones

  • Make sure the butter is very cold for the best results.
