Try our tasty lavender twist on a classic! If you’d prefer a pure white choc experience – just leave the lavender drops out of the recipe.

To serve these up as a fancy dessert, garnish with lavender petals on the truffles and stalks of lavender on the plate.

Heat the cream in a small saucepan until it just reaches the boil, then pour over the chocolate block in a bowl. Add the lavender extract and allow to sit for a few minutes before stirring until smooth.
Refrigerate for an hour or so until the chocolate is firm enough to handle, then roll the chocolate mixture into small walnut sized balls.
Melt the white chocolate drops either in a bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, or in the microwave on reduced heat.
Dip the truffles into the chocolate, then place them on a foil-lined board. Allow to set at room temperature.
Store truffles in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
