Ingredients

• Strawberry Cream Cheese Scones
• 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 1 Tbsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter cubed and cold
• 4 oz cream cheese cubed and cold
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream plus more for brushing
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2/3 cup strawberries finely chopped
• Vanilla Glaze
• 1 - 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 2-3 Tbsp heavy whipping cream
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
• Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl.
• Once combined, cut in the butter and cream cheese with a fork or pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Whisk together heavy whipping cream, egg, and vanilla extract. Slowly add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and mix until just combined.
• Add in strawberries, and mix until just combined.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and sprinkle more flour on top, if needed (if the dough is too wet--the strawberries can release a lot of juice). Form the dough into a circle, about 1/4-1/2" thick, and cut into 8 even triangles.
• Place scones on baking sheet, and lightly brush the tops of each scone with heavy whipping cream.
• Bake for 15-16 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
• Vanilla Glaze
• While the scones are cooling, whisk together powdered sugar (starting with 1 cup), heavy whipping cream (beginning with 2 Tbsp), and vanilla extract. If the glaze seems too thin, add in the last 1/2 cup of powdered sugar. If it seems too thick, add in the last Tbsp of heavy cream.
• Drizzle the glaze over the scones, and allow to set (about 5-10 minutes).
