# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Heat your oven to 400°F. Put parchment or a silicone mat on your baking tray and put it aside.
02 -
Take ¾ cup of sugared coconut shreds and pulse them in your food processor until they're small grains. Dump this ground coconut into a big bowl.
03 -
Throw your flour, sugar, rising powder, and salt into the bowl with the ground coconut. Stir everything together.
04 -
Chop up your dark chocolate unevenly. Set aside ¼ of it for later and mix the rest into your flour mixture. Give it a good stir.
05 -
Drop your cold butter chunks into the bowl. Use your fingers or a pastry tool to squish it into the dry mix until it looks sandy and rough.
06 -
Pour in your coconut cream and both flavor extracts. Mix until it all comes together. If it's too wet, add more flour. If it's too dry, splash in more coconut cream. You want it slightly dry but still sticking together.
07 -
Dump the dough onto a floured counter. Pat it into an 8-inch circle and push the edges to close any cracks. Cut it into 8 triangles and move them to your baking sheet.
08 -
Stick them in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes until the edges turn light gold. Take them out and let them cool on a wire rack.
09 -
Mix coconut cream, coconut flavoring, and sugar dust in a small bowl until it's thick but can still flow through a piping bag. Add more sugar or cream to get the right thickness.
10 -
Squeeze crisscross icing patterns on your cooled scones. Sprinkle the chocolate chunks you saved and some coconut shreds on top. Eat right away or store them in a sealed container.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
You can keep these treats in a sealed container at room temp for 2 days tops. Want them to last longer? Freeze them for up to 3 months and thaw before you eat them.
