Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- ¼ cup sugar
- ¼ cup dark unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon espresso powder
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
- 1 egg
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- ¾ cup toasted hazelnuts, chopped
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips
- 6 tablespoons Nutella
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips
- ½ teaspoon coconut oil
- ¼ cup toasted hazelnuts, chopped
Directions
-
Heat oven to 375 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a large bowl combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, espresso powder, baking powder and salt and whisk until well mixed.
-
Using a pastry blender or your fingers press the butter into the flour until you have pea-sized crumbs.
-
In a small bowl whisk the egg, cream, and vanilla.
-
Pour the egg/cream mixture into the flour mixture stirring until the dough comes together.
-
Carefully knead the dough a few times and then knead in the hazelnuts and chocolate chips.
-
On a flat surface pat the dough into a 6x12 inch rectangle. Spread the Nutella over the dough.
-
Roll one side of the dough up to the middle and roll the other side to meet the other side. Gently press the dough together into a rectangle about 1 ¾ inches thick.
-
Cut the rectangle into 2 squares. Cut each square into 4 triangles.
-
Place the scones onto the baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes until done when a wooden skewer inserted the middle comes out clean.
-
Place the scones on a cooling rack to cool fully.
-
While the scones are cooling prepare the drizzle. In a small microwave safe bowl combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil.
-
Heat in the microwave for 30 seconds. Stir and heat in 15 second intervals until chocolate is melted. Drizzle the chocolate over each scone and top with chopped hazelnuts.
