Dark Chocolate Heart Scones With Chocolate Ganache & Toasted Coconut
- FOR THE SCONES:
- 2 cups All-purpose Flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1/2 teaspoons Kosher Salt
- 3 Tablespoons Granulated Sugar
- 1/2 cups Unsalted Butter (cold & Cubed)
- 1/2 cups Milk
- 1 whole Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
- 1/2 cups Unsweetened Coconut Flakes, Toasted
- FOR THE GANACHE:
- 1 cup Dark Chocolate Chips
- 1/3 cups Cream
- For the scones:
- Preheat oven to 425 F. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. With a pastry blender or your (clean) fingers, cut the butter into the flour and sugar. Combine until resembles coarse crumbs.
- In another small bowl, combine milk, egg, and vanilla. Add wet ingredients into dry along with chocolate chips in batches until mixture clings together and forms a soft dough.
- Flour a work surface and knead the dough gently 5 or 6 times. Then roll dough into a 7 inch round. Use a heart shaped cookie cutter and cut out 8 (or more depending on dough) hearts. Place hearts on a baking sheet that you've sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. You can re-roll the scraps to make additional scones.
- Bake for about 16 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and let them cool slightly. Spread chocolate ganache on top and top with toasted coconut.
- For the ganache:
- In a medium saucepan, melt chocolate chips and cream over medium heat. Stir to combine and set aside until thickened.
