Triple Chocolate Sour Cream Scones - FOOD PHOTO SHOOT

[gringalicious]

I am posting one of my favorite new recipes.

You seriously have to try it unless you are a scone hater. I mean, is it just me or are scones notorious for being dry and bland? The people who think that have obviously never had a good scone.

My family loves scones but I usually just do basic. This time we needed a serious chocolate fix so went for triple chocolate and the results pretty much speak for themselves.

These scones were a hit. We all agreed that they somehow taste exactly like chocolate pop-tarts, but better. Not sure how that happened but I am just gonna go with it. They’re like chocolate chip filled chocolate pop-tarts which basically equals perfection in my book.

I love how easy it is to make scones with a food processor. It does feel a little bit like cheating but it saves so much time and frustration. I think I use my food processor everyday. I pretty much love that thing.

If you have either sworn off scones bacause of too many nasty dry ones or have just never really tried them then you must. Really, because these will change your entire opinion about the scone world.

2 tablespoons cocoa powder
3 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup powdered sugar

Cut butter into cubes and place in food processor with dry ingredients. Pulse a few times until mixture is crumbly. Add vanilla, egg, and sour cream and pulse a few more times until a dough forms.Add chocolate chunks and pulse just to mix them in.
Dump dough onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 3 balls. Flatten each ball into a disk and place on greased or parchment lined baking tray.cut into 6 or 8 triangles and spread each section about 1 inch apart.
Bake for 15 - 20 minutes until edges are golden. Remove from oven and cool completely
For Icing, whisk all ingredients together in a medium bowl until smooth. Drizzle over scones when cooled and allow to dry before serving.

[prinxeton]

Just looking at the picture over and over again. I'm salivating right now

[gringalicious]

thanks so much for the kind words @prinxeton

[crowbarmama]

Scones are one thing I've succeeded with for my Wildstyle. Yours look dessert-worthy,!!

Now, tell me about your food processor. That's the one gadget that I think could really be useful in the kitchen, but I've never owned one. Since you use yours every day, would you recommend the brand you have or is there something you wish was different?

[gringalicious]

I hope this recipe would also work for Wildstyle.

If you don't mind, I'll tell you more about the food processor next time we see each other. I hope all is well!!

[crowbarmama]

With my usual substitutions, I can totally make this work! I look forward to seeing you all soon. I'll trade fresh Icelandic eggs for your food processor info! 😉

[sidrasaeed]

So nice yame

[gringalicious]

thanks

[sharoonyasir]

These do look amazing and very tempting. But I don't know to me they look quite like muffins. I have tasted scones, muffins and bagels and Idk why they all taste so similar lol. Maybe I have faulty taste buds.

[gringalicious]

well, I hope you give these a try someday, thanks for commenting

[sharoonyasir]

I hope to try these too. Actually, my routine is so swamped mostly that I hardly get time to try something different. I have a long weekend coming up, basically it is my son's spring break, not really a holiday for me lol but I am planning to try those coconut and almond butter chicken bites in this time. Even if I don't try the recipes, yours is perhaps the only food blog I love to visit a lot because of the easy recipes and the tantalizing food photography.

[kieranstone]

They'd go great with raspberry jam and cream!

[gringalicious]

that's a great idea

[blazing]
