These are so delicious and moist! I'm already making my second batch to share with friends and family. I added chia seeds and cinnamon to my flour mixture, and some honey to my egg mixture. This will definitely be a new go to summer baking recipe. Thank you so much for sharing Caroline!

Yes, I imagine if you used about half the amount in coconut cream blended with some water is maybe about right, though you might want to start with about 1/3 of the amount coconut cream, dilute a bit (maybe to give you around 2/3 of total) and see how it looks before either adding more cream/more water/both, depending how it looks. You could also use other milk (either dairy/non-dairy) to blend in so it still seems creamier but is just not as thick. I'd mix this all separately before adding in to the scone mixture at the appropriate time, to save extra mixing of the dough as you always want to limit how much you handle scone dough. Hope it works out and you enjoy!

So glad to hear it worked with the yogurt too, and that you enjoyed!

I haven't tried it, but in theory I think it should work - let me know how it goes!

Thanks! Yes you could use milk (or better for a slightly richer texture, half and half or a mix of milk and cream) - I mainly used coconut milk to add to the coconut flavor.

I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed them! We were huge fans too, and in fact it made me want to go back and tweak some other scones I've made to be more like these!

In reply to Caroline's Cooking.

Thank you! I added it when I added the fruit. I’ve been on a search for the best scone recipe and my husband and I agree that these are by far the best of the best. Thanks for sharing.

No, I'd missed writing that part up, somehow - good spot, thank you! I've now updated the recipe - it's not actually too important exactly when you add the coconut, you can either add after you cut the butter into the flour and just stir through, or along with the wet ingredients.

Thank you, they really pair so well and I love that thee have both flavors but neither really taking over (well maybe the mango but that's fair!)

From one Melburnian to another, welcome! Yeah, we have the most amazing variety of fruit in this city, especially when you go to the more ethnic suburbs too and you'll be able to find even more varieties! Never thought to flavour a scone with mango, Genius!

You could use cream (I'd suggest heavy cream) as in more traditional scones, they will just have less of the coconut flavor (but I assume you are thinking to avoid having coconut at all).

It's interesting the different perspectives on scones/biscuits, I agree! And yes, there is definitely so much to explore here - these scones did indeed make it on a picnic as well already!

Americans don't really have scones except what we appropriate and steal from those across the pond. Our biscuits are usually not sweet at all. Although I admit some fantastic ones are dressed up with sugar and other things. Not so much cream here as buttermilk.
I'd be enjoying those mangos in Melbourne- just for starters. I'd have a hard time getting indoors as I'd be out looking at the different trees, flowers and birds. You'll have to put together a few picnics and make sure you take all of it in!
