Strawberry Cheesecake Scones
Strawberry Cheesecake Scones are a delicious and indulgent treat that are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. These scones are made with a combination of fresh strawberries, cream cheese, and buttery scone dough, resulting in a sweet and tangy flavor that is sure to satisfy your cravings.
To make these Strawberry Cheesecake Scones, you will need the following ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, diced
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
To begin, preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add in the diced strawberries and mix until well combined. Add this mixture to the flour mixture and stir until just combined.
In a small bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract. Add this mixture to the dough and stir until a soft dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for a few seconds. Pat the dough into a circle that is about 1 inch thick. Cut the dough into 8 wedges and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the scones for 18-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Allow the scones to cool for a few minutes before serving.
These Strawberry Cheesecake Scones are a perfect combination of sweet and tangy flavors, with a buttery and flaky texture that is sure to please. They are best served warm, with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of strawberry glaze.
