These scones are made with Amarena cherries, which refers to a variety of dark wild cherry from the Bologna and Modena regions of Italy. They are typically sold preserved in a sweet syrup. They have an intense sweet cherry flavor, and pair perfectly with chocolate.

Time 1h15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups all-purpose flour
⅓ cup white sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup cold butter, cubed
1 cup Amarena cherries in syrup, drained and halved (syrup reserved)
¼ cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
½ cup heavy cream
1 large egg
1 tablespoon heavy cream
¼ cup powdered sugar
1 ½ teaspoons milk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse 3 or 4 times to mix. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs, 20 to 25 times. Pour mixture into a large bowl. Fold in cherries and chocolate chips, making sure they are well coated with the dry ingredients.
  • Mix together 1/2 cup heavy cream, egg, and 1 tablespoon cherry syrup together with a fork in a small bowl until well combined. Stir into flour mixture and mix just until slightly moistened.
  • Turn dough out onto a well floured surface. Gather dough in a circle using floured hands, kneading only slightly to incorporate any remaining dry ingredients. Flatten dough into a 9-inch round disc; cut disc into 8 triangles. Transfer scones using a bench scraper onto the prepared baking sheets (4 scones per baking sheet). Brush scones with 1 tablespoon heavy cream.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until light brown, 20 to 23 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • Mix powdered sugar and milk together in a small bowl. Transfer to a small resealable plastic bag. Snip one corner off of the bag with a pair of scissors, and drizzle glaze on cooled scones.

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE-CHERRY SCONES



Double Chocolate-Cherry Scones image

These are so decadent tasting, but surprisingly have very little chocolate! The bonus they cook rather quick! I use black onyx cocoa powder from the Savory Spice Shop®- it allows for a much deeper, darker, and richer chocolate taste that regular Dutch processed cocoa powder just doesn't have.

CHOCOLATE CHERRY SCONES



Chocolate Cherry Scones image

Tender, chocolatey scones with tart dried cherries tucked inside, plus a decadent dark chocolate drizzle. But they're not all indulgence - these tasty triangles are made a little more palatable with pure maple syrup instead of refined white sugar.

Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups white whole wheat flour + more for cutting (can also use all-purpose flour)
1/4 cup cocoa powder (I like Ghirardelli brand)
1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/3 cup about 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (salted butter is fine, I just suggest you reduce the salt to 1/2 teaspoon)
1 large egg
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 cup chopped dried cherries
1/3 cup dark chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  • Cut the into chunks and add it to the flour mixture. Using your fingers or a pastry blender, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles course crumbs.
  • In a separate small bowl, beat the egg. Add the heavy whipping cream, pure maple syrup, and vanilla. Mix well.
  • Create a well in the dry ingredients, then pour the wet mixture in. With a wooden spoon, mix the dough just until it all comes together. Add the cherries and stir until combined.
  • Spread a little flour on your pastry surface and turn the dough onto the surface. With your hands, and using a little flour if necessary, shape the dough into an approximately 8-inch x 5-inch rectangle. Cut the dough in half down the middle and again across so that you have four rectangles. Slice each rectangle on the diagonal to create two rough triangles.
  • Carefully transfer the scones to the cookie sheet and bake until set, about 15 minutes.
  • Let cool for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack with paper towels underneath (the paper towels help with clean-up). Allow to cool completely.
  • Place chocolate chips in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave at 50% power for 30 seconds. Stir and cook at 50% power in 15-second increments until the chips melt completely smooth when you stir them. With a spoon, drizzle the chocolate over the scones. Let cool so the chocolate will harden, then serve.
