Steps:
- For the scones: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly dust with flour.
- Whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, orange zest, nutmeg and salt in a large bowl until combined. Add the butter and work it into the flour mixture with your fingers or a pastry blender, just until it resembles a coarse meal.
- Whisk the cream, shredded carrot and egg together in a medium bowl until combined. Add the walnuts. Add the carrot mixture to the flour mixture and fold with a rubber spatula until the dough just comes together. Lightly dust your worksurface and hands with flour. Turn the dough out onto the surface and pat into a 6-inch round, about 1-inch thick. Cut into 8 equal-size wedges.
- Space the scones evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Use a pastry brush to brush more heavy cream on top of each scone. Bake until the tops are matte and golden brown, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the glaze: Whisk the cream cheese and 1 tablespoon milk until slightly smooth. Add confectioners' sugar and vanilla extract. Add another 1 to 2 tablespoons milk and whisk until smooth and the glaze runs off the whisk. Cover with a damp paper towel until ready to use.
- Drizzle some glaze over each scone, letting it drip over the edges. Sprinkle with walnuts and serve.
