👉🏻Ingredients list⚠️

• Unsweetened, unprocessed coconut milk: 120 milliliters (chilled, helps form a flaky crust)

• Baking powder: 1 teaspoon

• Salt: 1/4 teaspoon

• Granulated sugar (or coconut sugar): 30 grams (adjust to taste)

Vegan Mango Coconut Scones are a delicious dessert that combines tropical flavors with a healthy concept. These scones feature the sweetness of fresh mango and coconut without any animal-based ingredients, making them perfect for vegans. With a crispy crust and soft interior, every bite offers a refreshing taste of mango and the rich flavor of coconut, making them an ideal choice for summer afternoons or any time of day.

👉🏻✨DIRECTIONS:

1. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar (or coconut sugar).

2. Prepare Wet Ingredients: Cut the chilled coconut oil into small pieces and add to the coconut milk, stirring until partially melted but still chunky, which helps form a flaky crust. If desired, add lemon juice for flavor.

3. Combine Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir with a spatula until large clumps of dough form. Add the mango dices and coconut flakes, continuing to gently stir until the dough is just combined. Do not overmix to avoid the dough becoming too sticky.

4. Shape Dough: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface and gently press into a round or rectangular shape about 2 centimeters thick. Use a cookie cutter or knife to cut into desired shapes.

5. Bake: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the cut scones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them apart. Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and fully cooked inside.

6. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the scones cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve with coconut cream or fresh mango slices.

👉🏻✨TIPS

• Using chilled coconut milk and coconut oil helps form a crispy crust.

• The sweetness and acidity of mango may vary by variety, so adjust the sugar amount to taste.

• Baking time may vary depending on the oven, so check the scones halfway through baking to avoid overbaking.
