You can make them for a weekday breakfast or to entertain for a weekend brunch. We just love them!

These scones are also perfect for freezing and reheating, so you can enjoy them anytime!
What’s in White Chocolate Raspberry Scones
To make these delicious scones, we added honey to the dough mixture for a sweet and subtle flavor, along with almond milk to give it that vaguely nutty flavor that pairs so well with the white chocolate and raspberries. Vanilla extract was also added to add warmth and depth to the scones. The white chocolate chips provide a creamy sweetness, while the juicy raspberries add a tart and fruity burst of flavor. Can you even think of a dreamier combo?!
Variations and Substitutions
If you’re not a fan of raspberries, you can easily swap them out for other fruits like blueberries or strawberries. For a chocolate twist, try using dark chocolate chips instead of white chocolate. You can also add a dash of lemon zest to brighten up the flavors. To make these raspberry cream scones dairy-free, simply use plant-based butter and milk alternatives. You can also replace the honey with agave nectar or maple syrup for a vegan option. You could even get nutty with it and add some chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts to the dough for added texture and flavor!
Top Tips for Making White Chocolate Raspberry Scones
Be sure to slowly add the milk to the batter. It will be hard to form the scones if you add too much milk at one time. The scones may lose a bit of their shape when you separate them on the baking sheet. That’s ok! They will still taste great. Don’t overwork the dough. This will result in tough and dry scones instead of soft and flaky ones.
