White Chocolate Strawberry Scones
The addition of milky white chocolate chips makes it a delicious twist on strawberries and cream. The soft, buttery dough is filled with juicy strawberries, while the white chocolate chips add a smooth, creamy richness that perfectly complements the fruit.
I use fresh strawberries for this recipe, but freeze dried would work as well! Frozen strawberries will release excess moisture, so I would avoid using those!
Valentine’s Day inspired this recipe, but these Strawberry Scones are the perfect treat to enjoy year round!
