They are LOADED with coconut and the chocolate chunks make them even more amazing! They are the perfect scones!

Coconut Scones

Most scones are made with heavy cream, which is a very good thing. I usually make my scones with heavy cream, but this time I used coconut milk since they are coconut scones. I wanted to maximize the coconut flavor. I used coconut milk from the can (Thai Kitchen brand, I buy it at my Kroger store, Smith’s), the full fat stuff, don’t use lite in this recipe. You want the scones to be nice and rich.The scones also have plenty of butter, remember, we don’t want a dry scone! The scone gets plenty of moisture from the butter and coconut milk.I mix in Kroger sweetened flaked coconut and Private Selection Dark Chocolate Chunks into the scone dough. The coconut and dark chocolate combo is fantastic! I love using the Private Selection Chocolate Chunks because I don’t have to chop my own chocolate and the chunks are nice and big. You can find the coconut and dark chocolate chunks in the baking aisle at any Kroger store.Don’t overwork the scone dough. Mix the dough together and then gently form it into a circle. Don’t over knead or handle the dough too much. You will end up with tough scones if you over work the dough.Cut the scones into eight equal triangle pieces and brush the tops with coconut milk.Bake until the scones are light, golden brown and let them cool completely.Toast Kroger sweetened flaked coconut in the oven. Make sure you watch the coconut closely because it will toast up quickly.The scones also have a coconut glaze made with coconut milk, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.Glaze the scones and top them with the toasted coconut.

The scones are best the day they are made so eat one right away, like as soon as you sprinkle that toasted coconut on top. You are going to enter coconut heaven after one bite!

Perfect for Breakfast or Anytime of Day

You can eat scones for breakfast, brunch, with a cup of coffee or tea, or for dessert! They are a great treat anytime of the day, and yes, it is ok to eat them for breakfast even though they have chocolate in them. You have my permission:) Talk about a great way to start the day! I am for sure making these Coconut Scones for Easter brunch. Coconut is popular at Easter time so these scones are perfect for the holiday. Your family and friends will love them, especially when they get a bite of chocolate with the coconut. They will be blown away!
