Someone just gave my husband and me the most beautiful sachet of lavender with the suggestion to steep it in cream to make lavender infused truffles. I love the pairing of honey with lavender, so I came up with this recipe.
If you’ve never made truffles, they’re easy as anything to make, with only a few ingredients and no baking. They’re basically a chilled ganache turned into shapes.
One of the most popular methods for making homemade truffles is to make the ganache and pour it into a simple bowl to refrigerate. A melon baller is then used to scoop out the chocolate. From there they can be rolled cocoa powder, sugar, or dipped in melted chocolate.
For mine this time, I wanted them to look simple and elegant. They almost look like small pieces of fudge. I cut them into squares and then sprinkled them with sanding sugar and a few lavender buds.
I may maket this honey lavender truffles recipe and serve them as an elegant dessert after a romantic dinner or place them in a small box to give as gifts.
