These truffles combine the creamy sweetness of white chocolate with the delicate floral notes of lavender, enhanced by the subtle sweetness of honey.

Ingredients:
For the Filling:
- 2 cups white chocolate pieces
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 5 teaspoons dried culinary lavender
- 2 tablespoons honey
- Food coloring (violet, royal blue, and super red) – optional
For the Coating:
- 2 cups white chocolate, melted or tempered
Instructions:
- Prepare the Filling:
- Place white chocolate pieces in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- In a small saucepan, combine heavy cream and dried lavender. Heat over medium-low heat until the cream starts to bubble around the edges.
- Remove from heat and let steep for 5 minutes. Strain the cream into the bowl with the white chocolate pieces.
- Melt the chocolate mixture in the microwave in 15-second increments, stirring after each, or over a bain-marie, until smooth and fully melted.
- Stir in honey and mix in food coloring, if desired, to achieve your preferred shade.
- Chill the Mixture:
- Pour the chocolate mixture into a clean pan and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until set, approximately 3 hours.
- Form the Truffles:
- Using a small cookie scoop or a 1½ teaspoon measuring spoon, scoop out portions of the chilled mixture and roll into balls. To prevent sticking, coat your hands with powdered sugar.
- Place the truffles in the freezer to chill further, about 15-20 minutes.
- Coat the Truffles:
- Dip each chilled truffle into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Place the coated truffles on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper to set.
Assembly and Serving:
Serve these elegant truffles at parties or gift them to someone special. The subtle floral lavender paired with the creamy white chocolate and honey creates a memorable dessert experience that will surely impress.
