For the Truffle Mixture

  • 2 tablespoons Honey Substitution: Maple syrup for a vegan option.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Substitution: Almond extract for a different note.
  • 1 pinch Salt No substitution necessary.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a small saucepan, heat the cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer gently, but do not let it boil.
  2. Once simmering, remove the saucepan from the heat and add dried lavender. Cover and allow the mixture to steep for 15 minutes.
  3. After steeping, carefully strain the cream through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove the lavender buds.
  4. Place chopped white chocolate into a heatproof bowl. Pour the warm lavender-infused cream over the chocolate and let it sit for 1 minute.
  5. Add honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the chocolate mixture. Stir well until all ingredients are combined.
  6. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for approximately 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to scoop.
  7. Using a cookie scoop, portion the chilled mixture into small balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  8. Roll each truffle in cocoa powder or powdered sugar until fully covered and sprinkle reserved dried lavender on top.
  9. Place the coated truffles back in the refrigerator for an additional 30 minutes to set.
