Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup of sugar
- 1/2 cup of cold diced butter
- 1/2 cup of shredded coconut

The butter gives our scones that rich and tender texture. The almonds, while adding a crunchy flavor, also provide a healthy dose of nutrition. And of course, the star of the show is the trifecta of chocolate, coconut, and almond flavors that blend together to create absolute magic. As for substitutes, you can swap out the dark chocolate for milk chocolate if that’s more your style or switch the heavy cream with a non-dairy milk for a vegan version.
How To Make Chocolate Coconut Almond Scones
- Preheat your oven to 425��F and line your baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and baking powder. Then, add in the cold butter and combine until you get a crumbly mixture.
- Next, stir in the shredded coconut, chocolate, and almonds. Then add the heavy cream gradually, stirring as you pour until getting a soft dough.
- Finally, shape scones from the dough and arrange them on your baking sheet. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
Tips For The Best Results
- Make sure your butter is cold for the best texture.
- Don’t overmix the dough. It should just come together.
Storage Tips
- The scones are best served fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container for 2-3 days.
- They can be reheated in an oven at low temperature or a microwave.
