These chocolate strawberry scones are a simple yet indulgent treat, perfect for any time you’re craving the irresistible combination of chocolate and strawberries.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
Cut in the butter using a pastry cutter, a fork, or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gently fold in the strawberries and chocolate chips.
Add the cream and vanilla and stir until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to over-mix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a 6-7 inch round, about 1 inch thick. Cut into 8 wedges and transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
Brush with cream and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the scones are set and slightly firm to the touch. Cool on a wire rack.
