Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder and salt.
3. Cut the cold cubed butter into the dry mix with a pastry blender or your fingers until it looks like coarse breadcrumbs.
4. Add the cream, milk and chocolate chips and mix quickly until a loose dough forms.
5. Turn the dough onto a floured surface, knead lightly a few times until it holds together, and pat into an 8-inch circle, 1 inch thick.
6. Cut into 8 equal triangles, place on the baking sheet and chill in the fridge for 15 minutes.
7. Brush the scones with egg wash and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the tops are firm and they sound hollow when tapped.
8. Cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then move to a rack to cool completely.
9. Whisk the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, milk and vanilla until smooth and lump-free.
10. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled scones and let it set.
