This post and recipe was created for #SummerDessertWeek! I was sent samples by some of the sponsor companies but as always opinions are 100% mine. In this recipe, I used the blueberry lemonade candy melts from Wilton!
Scones are seriously the best. Especially lemon blueberry scones. Well, it’s a little bit cheating because the lemon comes from the lemon blueberry candy melts! It kind of makes these blueberry scones a bit of breakfast and a bit of dessert. But, I’m not mad about it.
I had never made homemade scones until about a year ago or so and then I seriously considered why it took me so long! They are SO simple and so delicious. Plus, they stay fresh for a few days if you or your family doesn’t eat them in one day!
If you are a scone lover like me, here and here are two other recipes to make!
There are a few things that are important to note while making these lemon blueberry scones. 1) Make sure your butter is COLD. It helps with the texture of the scones. 2) We used high fat coconut milk but you could also use heavy cream. But, you need FAT for these scones. 3) If you use frozen blueberries, do not let them thaw or they’ll bleed and your scones will be purple!
These ingredients and kitchen tools will help you make the best lemon blueberry scones!

Ingredients
Method
- Add flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together in a large bowl. Grate the frozen butter onto a plate using a cheese grater. Carefully add to the flour mixture and combine with your hands (pastry cutter or forks work too) until the mixture comes together in about pea-sized crumbs. Set bowl in fridge.
- In a small bowl, whisk coconut milk, egg, and vanilla extract until combined. Remove flour bowl from fridge and drizzle coconut milk mixture into it. Add frozen blueberries and using a rubber spatula, combine all ingredients until fully mixed and minimal dry spots.
- Pour dough onto a floured counter and work into a ball, flouring your hands as needed. If dough is too sticky, add more flour. If dough is too dry, add a little bit more coconut milk. Shape into an 8-inch disc and then cut into 8 wedges using a knife or bench scraper.
- Brush scones with coconut milk then set on a parchment or silicone lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 15 minutes, or longer.
- Once ready to bake, preheat over to 400°F.
- Bake scones for 22-25 minutes or until golden brown around the edges and lightly browned on top. Remove from the oven and place on a cooling rack while you prepare your blueberry lemonade candy melts.
- Melt according to candy melt package then drizzle over slightly cooled scones and enjoy!

These are just too fun! I always love that lemon blueberry combo. I have to keep those frozen blueberry and butter tips in mind.

I love that you matched the scones with the candy melts we got. How clever.
