Want a decadent scone with a subtle flavor of the tropics? I know – seems like an odd combination but that is exactly what these Mango White Chocolate scones are! Its a delicious mix of chopped mango and white chocolate in a flaky scone with a slight fruit tooth. These scones would be great for a summer breakfast or afternoon tea…even just as a snack for yourself. Topped with a glaze and toasted coconut, these are a delicious scone. Here is how they go together.
Ingredients you will need
- All purpose flour
- Sugar
- Baking powder
- Salt
- Unsalted butter, chilled
- Heavy Cream
- Egg
- Vanilla
- White Chocolate
- Dried Mango
- Glaze (optional)
- Toasted Coconut (optional)
Special Ingredients
Let’s talk a little bit about the two additions to this scone recipe – white chocolate and mango.
First, the white chocolate. I used white chocolate chips, but you can use block white chocolate. You will be chopping this up anyway, so whatever you prefer or have access to.
Now for the mango. I used Sunsweet Premium Mango brand. They are dusted a little with sugar and come in full slices. I cut them up before chopping them. I tried other brands and even organic unsweetened. These did not do well – one was way too gummy and the organic unsweetened didn’t chop up well. I am sure you can make this recipe with other brands but I wanted you to be aware of the differences that I found.
As with any scone, these Mango White Chocolate scones can be made by hand or as is my preference, the food processor. This recipe references the food processor but doing by hand is like any other scone…crumble with your fingers!
What to prep ahead
These scones go together like most other scones but I like to get everything prepared ahead of time so that the butter remains chilled as long as possible. So with this recipe, you will want to prep some items ahead of time and set aside.
MANGO PREPARATION
The mango needs to be in very small pieces. I used the Sunsweet 5 ounce package for this recipe. You can use your food processor or chopper to do this. Cut up the pieces to help the chopping and the processor will make quick work of the rest. This is a prep ahead and set to the side.
WHITE CHOCOLATE PREPARATION
White Chocolate – Again, this needs to be chopped up in small pieces. You can do this by hand or with a chopper as well. Prep ahead and set aside.
LIQUID PREPARATION
Cream, Egg and Vanilla – Mix these in a separate bowl. I just use my measuring cup. Set aside to be added later.
Putting the scones together
Place the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in your food processor. Pulse 1-2 times to combine.
Cube the chilled butter and add to the flour mixture. Pulse until small pea-sized pieces.
Add the egg, cream, vanilla mixture and pulse just until the dough starts to come together.
Add the mango and white chocolate. Pulse a few more times until somewhat combined.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead a few times to bring the dough together. Form an 8 inch circle and cut into triangles. This recipe gives you 8 large scones or 12 smaller sized ones or 18-20 mini scones. I am showing you the larger scone but prefer the smaller if I am serving this for a tea.
If you are making the mini scones, prep the recipe the same but instead of patting the dough into a round, pat into a rectangle. You can get 18-20 mini scones and will need two baking sheets for this method.
Place the scones on a prepared baking sheet. I use a silicon baking liner but you can use parchment paper as well. The scones will spread a little so give them a bit of space. Eight fit well on a baking sheet.
Bake them in a 375 degree oven for 15 – 20 minutes or until light golden brown.
Allow the scones to cool, then drizzle with a powdered sugar glaze. If you want to go completely tropical, some regular or toasted coconut on the top would is a great addition. These scones are delicious unglazed but the light glaze brings them to a superb level of deliciousness. The toasted coconut….speechless.
How the mini scones turned out
For the mini scones, I put on the same glaze and then topped them with some toasted coconut on top and they turned out amazing.
Storing and Freezing
These scones can be frozen unbaked. Bring them out to room temperature, then place in the 375 degree oven and bake for 15-20 minutes.
You can as well freeze them baked. To rewarm, bring to room temperature and then warm in a 350 degree oven for 10-15 minutes.
Enjoy these flavorful scones with a friend and great cup of tea or just be indulgent and have one by yourself! These are Mango White Chocolate Scones.
Mango White Chocolate Scones
Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, chilled
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 large egg
- 1½ tsp vanilla
- 6 oz white chocolate, in chunks or chips
- 1 cup finely chopped dried mangos
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp heavy cream
- 1 cup toasted coconut (sweetened or unsweetened) optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°. Line a baking sheet with parchment or silicon baking liner.
- Prepare white chocolate by pulsing in food processor or chopper to small pieces. Set aside. Can also do by hand.
- Prepare mango by pulsing in food processor until small pieces. Set aside. Can also do by hand.
- In bowl , mix egg, cream, and vanilla.
- In bowl of food processor, mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Pulse a couple times to mix.
- Cube the butter and add to food processor. Pulse until combined and butter is cut up into small pea sized pieces.
- Add the egg, cream and vanilla mixture to the food processor. Pulse until dough just begins to come together.
- Add the mango and white chocolate. Pulse until combined with dough.
- On lightly floured surface, bring dough together into an 8 inch round. Cut into 8 – 12 triangles. 8 will yield fairly large scones. Can also be made into a rectangle and will yield 18-20 mini scones. Leave room on the baking sheet – the scones will spread slightly during baking.
- Place on baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes or until light golden.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool on rack.
Glaze
- Combine the powdered sugar with the 2 tbsp of cream. Mix until smooth. Drizzle over cooled scones.
Toasted Coconut
- To toast coconut, heat oven to 350°. Evenly spread 1 cup of coconut on prepared baking sheet (using a silicon pad or parchment paper).
- Place the baking sheet in the oven, checking every 2-3 minutes and stirring the coconut.
- Once toasty brown, remove from the oven and allow to cool.
- Sprinkle of freshly glazed scones. Make sure the glaze is moist so that the coconut will stick.

What a fantastic recipe! Mango and white chocolate is a great combo, I’m allergic to coconut, but I can leave it off! Thank you for sharing your masterpiece!
Beth
Hi Holly – You are so sweet. Well my sister doesn’t like coconut – that’s why one version in the pictures is without coconut. But I couldn’t resist and its amazing. As usual, these are easy so hope you can enjoy them. Appreciate your comments so much – made me smile this morning. Glad that you enjoyed the post. I certainly enjoyed the taste testing! ha.

If the queen ever comes for tea, this is what you make! What an exquisite flavor profile!
Beth
Hi Santana – You made me chuckle when I read this. Well, I don’t think the queen will come to my tea (that was cute), but maybe it will make anyone who does come feel like a queen. Now that I would be pleased with. Thanks for your comment and glad that you enjoyed the post.

Jill DeMasi
What a great twist to add mango and coconut. Yummy!
Beth
Hi Jill – Thanks so much for the comment. Well other dried fruits were gone at the market so I went for mango. The coconut just seemed logical paired with the mango and toasting it set it over the top! Glad that you enjoyed it.
Melissa| It's a Joyous Journey
I never would have thought to put mango and white chocolate together, but these look delicious!
Beth
Hi Melissa – Yes, they turned out amazing. I know because I just had to sample them! Glad that you enjoyed the post. Thank you for your comment.
Tricia Snow
I have to be honest … I saw Mango and thought there is no way I can do this … then I saw the dried mango! What a great way to do it. I struggle to work with Mango but I love the flavor. These will be amazing!
Beth
Hi Tricia – Love your honesty. Well all the other dried fruits were gone! haha. So mango was the choice. Just be aware of the brand that you pick. I tried the organic and it didn’t work. Settled on the Sunsweet brand. But they are delicious – and in the mini form, just toooo delicious for sure. Glad that you enjoyed the post. Let me know how you like them. Thanks for your comment.
Cas
You had me at mango! Definitely going to try making these. They look delicious and I’ve never heard of a mango scone before!
Beth
Hi Cas – So glad that you enjoyed the post. Let me know how they turn out for you. They quickly became one of my favorites! Thanks for your comment.
Amy
Definitely excited to try these out. We have 2 mango trees in our yard so we have an abundance of them. We are always looking for new recipes so this will be added to the list!
Beth
Hi Amy – Wow, mango trees in your yard! How cool is that? I haven’t tried them with fresh mangoes so not sure how they will do. My base recipe for fresh fruit scones is very different than this one….the Fresh Strawberry Cream scone post highlights that one. Would be curious as to how it works out – please let me know. Appreciate your comment and glad that you were excited about the post. Thanks!
Debbie
You could open a tea room!! So many tea sets and yummy recipes!
Beth
Hi Debbie – Awww thanks for the compliment. I would love to open a tea room…would love to just get back to giving teas as well. Glad that you enjoyed the post and thank you for your comment.
Chelsea
Oh my gosh! I love the mini scones. They turned out so cute (and perfect for little kids)! I’ve been craving mangoes and this sounds like a yummy treat!
Beth
Hi Chelsea – Thanks for your comment. The mini scones were just enough if you didn’t want something larger. And I always finish the larger ones just because they taste so good. They turned out very well. Might do a scone sample with several scones but all in mini size. I can tell you – in mini form (or larger for that matter) these are absolutely a yummy treat! Glad you enjoyed it.
heather J jandrue
These sound amazing. I love scones would never think to use mango. I can’t wait to make these.
Beth
Hi Heather – The only dry fruit available was mango! So I went with it and then just adjusted and added and voila, a lovely scone. Check to see if you have the brand Sunsweet. The organic dried unsweetened didn’t work well, but you might have better luck. Let mek now how they turn out. So glad that you enjoyed the post and thanks for your comment.
Alexis Farmer
Yum, I’m a sucker for white chocolate anything
Beth
Hi Alexis – You are about the fourth person to say that. I am just a sucker for anything chocolate (white, milk, semi-sweet) and wrap it in a scone, its done. Thanks for your comment. Glad that you enjoyed the post.
Sara
My son just walked by and said “Oh I need to make those!”
Beth

With fall coming faster than we might like, I am looking forward to trying this. I like finding new ways to have a special “break” with my family, especially since we are all spending more time together nowadays!

Hi Beckie – Well this scone is a delicious, rich but easy to make scone. Hope you and your family enjoy it – and I would highly recommend the toasted coconut approach! Glad you enjoyed the post and thank you for your comment.
