These melt-in-your-mouth truffles are beautifully crafted with delicate colored accents and a smooth white chocolate coating, perfect for special occasions or gifting.

Ingredients

Scale

Truffle Base

  • 2 cups white chocolate pieces
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 5 teaspoons dried culinary lavender
  • 2 Tablespoons honey
  • 1 drop violet food coloring (optional)
  • 1 drop royal blue food coloring (optional)
  • 1 drop super red food coloring (optional)

Coating

  • 2 cups white chocolate (melted or tempered)

Instructions

  1. Prepare White Chocolate: Place white chocolate pieces in a medium bowl and set aside to be melted later.
  2. Infuse Cream: In a small saucepan, combine heavy cream with dried culinary lavender and heat over medium-low, watching closely until bubbles form around the edges but not boiling.
  3. Steep Lavender: Remove from heat and allow the lavender to steep in the cream for 5 minutes to infuse flavors.
  4. Strain Cream: Strain the lavender-infused cream into the bowl with white chocolate pieces, removing the lavender bits for a smooth mixture.
  5. Melt Chocolate Mixture: Gently melt the chocolate and cream together either in the microwave in short 15-second bursts stirring between, or over a bain-marie until silky smooth.
  6. Add Honey and Food Coloring: Stir in the honey thoroughly, then add food coloring drops if desired, mixing well for an even tint.
  7. Chill Mixture: Pour the truffle mixture into a clean container, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for about 3 hours until firm and set.
  8. Portion Truffles: Using a small cookie scoop or 1½ teaspoon measuring spoon, scoop out the chilled mixture to form uniform portions.
  9. Shape Truffles: Dust your hands lightly with powdered sugar and roll each portion into smooth, round balls.
  10. Freeze Truffles: Place the rolled truffles in the freezer for 15-20 minutes to firm up before coating.
  11. Coat with White Chocolate: Dip each chilled truffle into melted or tempered white chocolate coating, ensuring full coverage, then place on parchment-lined sheet pans.
  12. Set Coating: Allow the coated truffles to set at room temperature or refrigerate briefly until the chocolate shell hardens and is fully set.

Notes

  • Use culinary-grade lavender to avoid a bitter taste.
  • Tempering white chocolate for coating ensures a glossy finish and snap, but melting gently is an acceptable alternative.
  • Food coloring is optional and can be omitted or replaced with natural colorants.
  • Store finished truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • For easier rolling, keep your hands and tools lightly dusted with powdered sugar or cocoa powder to prevent sticking.
