Fresh Lavender White Chocolate Truffles: A Luxurious Treat

Introduction:

Indulge in the sophisticated flavors of Fresh Lavender White Chocolate Truffles, a delectable treat perfect for special occasions or as a delightful gift. These truffles combine the creamy sweetness of white chocolate with the delicate floral notes of lavender, enhanced by the subtle sweetness of honey. With a beautiful finish from a melted white chocolate coating, these truffles are as elegant as they are delicious.

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:

1. 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.
2. Chill the Mixture:
   • Pour the chocolate mixture into a clean pan and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until set, approximately 3 hours.
3. 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.
4. 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.
