Whipped Cream Scones With Chocolate And Cherries Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Grease cookie sheet with shortening or cooking spray.
• In large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Cut in butter, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until mixture forms coarse crumbs. In medium bowl, beat 1 of the eggs with fork. Stir in whipping cream and vanilla. Stir in chocolate chunks and cherries until combined. Pour over crumb mixture; stir just until moistened (do not overmix).
• Place dough on lightly floured surface. Knead lightly 4 times; pat into 7-inch circle, about 1 inch thick. Transfer to cookie sheet. In small bowl, beat remaining egg; stir in water. Brush egg mixture lightly over top of dough; discard any remaining egg mixture. Cut into 8 wedges; separate slightly so wedges aren't touching.
• Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack; cool 10 minutes. Serve warm.

Steps:

• For the scones: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
• Whisk together the heavy cream, sour cream and vanilla in a small bowl; set aside.
• Pulse the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder and salt in a food processor until combined. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture looks like fine meal. Transfer to a large bowl, add the cherries and toss until the cherries are coated. Pour in the heavy cream mixture and mix with a spatula until just combined.
• Lightly flour a work surface and dump the dough onto it. Pat out the dough into a 1/2-inch-thick circle and cut into 12 wedges. Transfer the wedges to the lined baking sheet with a spatula, brush the tops generously with cream and sprinkle each with about 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar. Bake until puffed and golden brown around the edges, about 18 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.
• For the marmalade: Combine the orange and granulated sugar in a food processor and process until finely pureed. Transfer the mixture to a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a rapid simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and set into a large bowl filled with ice water. Stir until the marmalade is cooled to room temperature.
• For the maple butter: Combine the butter, brown sugar, maple syrup and salt in a medium bowl and whisk until well combined.
• Serve the scones with the maple butter and marmalade.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse 3 or 4 times to mix. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs, 20 to 25 times. Pour mixture into a large bowl. Fold in cherries and chocolate chips, making sure they are well coated with the dry ingredients.
• Mix together 1/2 cup heavy cream, egg, and 1 tablespoon cherry syrup together with a fork in a small bowl until well combined. Stir into flour mixture and mix just until slightly moistened.
• Turn dough out onto a well floured surface. Gather dough in a circle using floured hands, kneading only slightly to incorporate any remaining dry ingredients. Flatten dough into a 9-inch round disc; cut disc into 8 triangles. Transfer scones using a bench scraper onto the prepared baking sheets (4 scones per baking sheet). Brush scones with 1 tablespoon heavy cream.
• Bake in the preheated oven until light brown, 20 to 23 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• Mix powdered sugar and milk together in a small bowl. Transfer to a small resealable plastic bag. Snip one corner off of the bag with a pair of scissors, and drizzle glaze on cooled scones.

Steps:

• Melt the chocolate over a double boiler. While chocolate is melting, separate the eggs. Beat the yolks, using a whisk in a medium bowl, with 2 tablespoons of the sugar and the vanilla until they become light yellow and creamy.
• Temper the yolks with a few tablespoons of melted chocolate before adding the rest of the chocolate, stirring until well combined. Set aside.
• Beat the whites in a medium bowl with remaining tablespoon of sugar until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
• In a large, cold bowl, add the cream and beat until stiff peaks form. Gently fold both the egg whites and cream into the chocolate-egg mixture. Spoon the mousse into individual serving bowls or 1 large bowl. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Cherries: Combine the wine, sugar and lemon zest in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat and add the cherries. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until slightly reduced, about 10 minutes. Set aside and let cool.
• In a small bowl add the cream, sugar and vanilla. Whip until the cream forms soft peaks or to desired consistency.
• To serve, top the mousse with cherries and whipped cream.
