These scones aren't just studded with juicy strawberries and chunks of luscious chocolate - they're also dipped in a decadent chocolate coating that will leave your taste buds singing. Ideal for a fancy brunch or as a sweet afternoon pick-me-up, they are bound to become a favorite!
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Cut in the cold, cubed butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gently fold in the diced strawberries and chocolate chunks, being careful not to mash the berries.
In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and egg.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and stir until just combined, forming a rough dough.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and shape it into a circle about 1-inch thick.
Using a knife or bench scraper, cut the circle into 8 wedges and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops of the scones with a little extra heavy cream for a golden finish.
Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through. Let cool on a wire rack.
Once cooled, dip each scone into the melted dark chocolate, covering about 1/3 of each scone.
Place dipped scones on a sheet of parchment paper and allow the chocolate to set before serving.
