Strawberry Cream Scones
Strawberry Cream Scones are tender scones that are perfect for breakfast or brunch. Weekends will become better with scones!
Chocolate is the food most of us associate with Valentine’s Day and the fruit that is mostly associated with the holiday is strawberries. With both marscapone and heavy cream, these rich scones are another great way to celebrate Valentine’s Day in a non-chocolate way. I would not be disappointed in the least if I did not eat one piece of chocolate on Valentine’s Day. Instead, I would much prefer to wake up to these luxurious Strawberry Cream Scones, with the heady aroma of cardamom.
These scones are much softer, more tender and delicate than traditional scones. But that’s the point – to have illusions of luxury even if it’s just in a scone! Since they are so soft, it is important to let them cool completely before removing them from the pan.

Don’t forget the curd!
The classic accompaniments to scones are clotted cream, marmalade or jam and curd. Curd is super easy to make and nowadays there are many varietal flavors you make, in addition to the classic lemon curd.

Strawberry with cardamom flavor,i wanna try this to feel the aroma..Scone looks absolutely delicious.Instead of using the mould, i can use any baking dish right?
You can just form the scones into round disc shapes and bake on cookie sheet
Wow mascarpone and heavy cream in scones — that sounds decadent and delicious. With strawberries these scones are just perfect for Valentine’s day.
believe it or not since there is so much strawberries, these are quite light
Wow! these look sinful, Mir.
they are surprisingly very light because its more fruit than flour 🙂
wow ! liked it .. and since its eggless, sure to give it a shot during the strawberry season here 🙂
Cant wait to give a try to this fabulous scones, am waiting for strawberries to bake some scones.
These scones look very colourful and the texture is awesome. Perfect for Valentine’s day..
You wont even miss the chocolate with such a delightful treat on your plate!
Love the flavor.. strawberry and cream, awesome
This is definitely a welcome change from the traditional chocolate based recipes for V-day. Love the texture of the scones and the making it with fresh strawberry is a treat!
thanks – they are delicate and tender but a healthier scone for sure!
Those scones look so sinful Mir, you have mixed in what’s interesting and created another fanciful dish….love that slice in your hand.
thanks- these are one the healthiest scones I ever made
That is one creamy heaven mir!! sounds rich and delicious!
actually since I used so much fruit – they are actually very light in texture
The scones look great.. I have never attempted to make them.
Scones are such a delicious treat. You should definitely give them a try!
I’ve always wondered if cream would make scones a bit heavy but since you mention that these strawberry cream scones are light, its a recipe I’s love to try. I love anything with strawberries in it. Definitely a different kind of treat for Valentines’ Day.
no – these are really soft and moist.
I do like the scones we get here and hence never tried them as they are very dry. But this Strawberry cream scones looks soft and having the texture I would love. Loving the different curd you have on the plate. As a whole this is very tempting.
American style scones are different than British/UK style scones. Here they are more rich and moist and even sometimes have eggs added. I am sure you would love these!
I made these yesterday. I did not have mascarpone at but subbed in cream cheese. They were a big hit, very light and flaky. I reduced the baking time to 20 minutes since I made them smaller than traditional size. Excellent recipe
I am so glad you enjoyed them. Thanks for letting me know!
