The best fruit scone recipe! White chocolate raspberry scones – buttery, tender cookies pair perfectly with a cup of coffee in the morning or tea in the afternoon. These white chocolate scones with freeze-dried raspberries are loaded with berry flavor and a light touch of cinnamon! I finish them with a simple sugar glaze and more raspberries on top for extra flavor. Plus, these are easy to make and store great so you can enjoy them all week long!

Making Raspberry Scones
Making these breakfast scones is super easy when using a food processor! Place the dry ingredients and the cold butter into a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form. If you don’t have a food processor, you can still make this recipe! Just use a pastry blender or two large forks to cut the cold butter into the flour. Transfer the flour and butter mixture into a large bowl.
Next, add in the wet ingredients and gently mix the batter until a soft dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky; try not to overwork the dough, otherwise it will become too dense. Fold in the berries and white chocolate and then shape the raspberry scones onto a baking sheet. When done baking, drizzle with a simple glaze or melted white chocolate and add more freeze-dried berries on top for more color! Keep the scones stored in an airtight container.
The Raspberries
I use freeze-dried raspberries in my white chocolate scone recipe to add maximum berry flavor without adding extra moisture. Fresh raspberries are super juicy and will also work in a pinch of you don’t have freeze-dried berries. Just keep in mind the berries will release juices while baking. Toss the fresh berries in corn starch to keep the juices from flowing too much. I get my dried berries at Trader Joe’s or online on Amazon (affiliate link). And, use some of those freeze-dried raspberries to garnish the top! Their bright color looks incredible!

Hey Tatyana, I don’t have a food processor, what equipment can I use to make this scones? 🙂
You can easily make this recipe without a food processor. You can cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or two forks.
Hi tatyana, is freeze dried raspberries the same as frozen raspberies (the ones in the supermarkets)?
No, these are different from regular frozen raspberries. Freeze-dried raspberries are dry and crunchy. You can buy them at Trader Joe’s or here: https://www.amazon.com/Trader-Joes-Freeze-Dried-Raspberries/dp/B00CQN07UW/ref=sr_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1471622707&sr=8-3&keywords=freeze+dried+raspberries
