Easy Gluten Free Raspberry White Chocolate Scone Recipe
Raspberry White Chocolate Scones have been a game changer for me.
I used to be a white chocolate snob and I avoided it at all cost. It's not really even chocolate, but a byproduct of chocolate making, using Cocoa butter (the fat), sugar, and milk solids. It does not contain any of the Cocoa solids which creates the brown chocolaty color and flavor chocolate lovers crave.
I still don't consider white chocolate 'chocolate' but my aversion to it has subsided and I see the need and enjoy it in certain applications. You wont see me eating a white chocolate bar anytime soon, but I've found a love for it in lattes or in baked goods like these scones.
Gluten Free Raspberry Scones with White Chocolate
This flavor combo came about when I ordered a chocolate mocha from a local coffee shop, and I was surprised at how much I liked it.
It was wonderfully balanced, with the perfect amount of sweetness and a lovely tang from the raspberry. I found myself ordering it when I was out for coffee and I wanted to play around with the flavor combo in my kitchen.
That's when these raspberry white chocolate scones were born. I've shared my love for scones with butter and jam before. So I took that recipe and added frozen raspberries and white chocolate chips. I love how they turned out.
They are balanced but have a nice sweetness and tart zing to them. Unlike the plain scones, adding jam or butter to these would be too overwhelming, they are perfect as is.
These scones keep well in a plastic bag if you don't eat all of them right away. I like them at room temp, right out of the bag, but if you want them reheated I recommend doing it in the oven or toaster oven and not the microwave. The microwave changed their texture and made them spongy.
I have yet to freeze any so if you try it let me know how they turn out!
