With a beautifully sweetened Cream Cheese Glaze! We not only drizzled them with it…we dunked them in. Isn’t that normal anyway?
Gee. That sounded like an informercial. Here’s the reality kick. Scones. Okay. I have a love/hate relationship with scones, because usually they’re so dry and chalky and can cause severe ‘dust storm,’ choking mid Oesophagus. But! When I make them, I make sure they’re nice and moist inside, while still keeping the ‘scone’ flavour and texture.
How to ensure they’re super moist? I use a small amount of Greek yogurt and a faux buttermilk. Aka I make my own. By adding 2 teaspoons lemon juice or white vinegar into ½ cup of any milk to ‘sour it.’ And it works. You can of course use the real stuff. But I never have any in my fridge! Ever.
Let me just say…all of those berries baked into these scones, PLUS the sweet and creamy, melt in your mouth chocolate chunks, with that cream cheese glaze? Well, these were gone before my kids made it home to try any. So of course, they made me make them again.
Don’t worry. I didn’t complain. Believe me.
There’s something about berries and chocolate. It’s like….a combination just as good as peanut butter and chocolate. Ugh. Peanut Butter.

Flavour combinations outta this world.
