White Chocolate Lavender Truffles
Floral and herbal flavors work wonderfully with white chocolate. Lavender is a special flavoring that comes through the white chocolate in a delicate way. These truffles are perfect if you enjoy elegant white chocolate recipes for events like a garden wedding or tea party.
Prepared Ingredients for Truffles:
-
16 oz Belgian White Chocolate in a heat safe bowl - set aside.
-
5 oz cream steeped overnight (24 hours) with a small handful of lavender flowers - tightly sealed in the refrigerator. This method shows how simple a white chocolate recipe from scratch can be when starting with quality chocolate.
Truffle Making Instructions:
The following day when you pull the cream from the refrigerator, strain and pour into a saucepan. Add 1 Tbsp lavender honey or very clear floral honey (clover works too)
Bring the cream and honey mixture barely to a boil (tiny small bubbles appear on the edge of the sauce pan) - promptly pour over your white chocolate you have set aside.
Wait a few seconds and then stir the mixture to melt the chocolate and get a good emulsion.If it is not completely melted, lightly warm the bowl to help finish melting. This gentle method is useful when learning how to make white chocolate ganache correctly.
Once melted, cool your truffle ganache mixture to room temperature. Then, cover the bowl of melted chocolate and place in the refrigerator for about 4 - 6 hours.
Remove the bowl and spoon out the white chocolate truffle ganache into the palm of your hand and roll into bite sized truffles setting aside on wax or parchment paper. You can also roll the finished truffle balls into finely chopped nuts (hazelnut) or dried fruits (apricot) - even into cocoa powder (our Red Cocoa Powder is a great option).
Store your White Chocolate Lavender Truffles in the refrigerator, tightly sealed. These truffles are a great example of easy white chocolate recipes you can make at home. Enjoy up to 2 weeks.
