Chocolate Chip Sourdough Scones with Fudge Filling

A chocolate chip sourdough scone with fudge filling is pure decadence wrapped in a rustic shell. On the outside, it’s golden and slightly crisp, with chocolate chips peeking through a buttery, craggy surface. Break it open, and you’re met with a soft, tender crumb—thanks to the sourdough discard—that has just the slightest tang to cut through the sweetness.

But the real magic is in the center: a rich, molten ribbon of fudge that melts into the warm layers, oozing just enough to make each bite feel indulgent. The chocolate chips scattered throughout add texture and bursts of cocoa flavor, creating a beautiful contrast between the smooth, velvety filling and the crumbly, flaky dough.

It’s like a bakery treat and a lava cake had a cozy, sourdough-kissed baby. Best enjoyed warm, when the fudge is still soft and the chips are just starting to melt.
