For years I was opposed to the flavor of lavender in food. To my senses the taste of lavender evoked the smell of bath oils and scented candles…relaxing but not appetizing. I’m not sure when it all changed but in recent years I absolutely love the flavor of floral lavender in sweets. Honey lavender ice cream from Carmela’s, Lavender Scones from Little Flower or Chocolate Lavender Truffles. Chocolate and lavender being one of the best combinations of course! If you haven’t tried it, you really must. Are you a fan of food seasoned with lavender? Just 3 ingredients and a little bit of your time… that’s all you need to make the most exquisite vegan Lavender Chocolate Truffles! All your chocolate cravings end here, I promise!
It's not an empty promise here. You can make the loveliest chocolates right in your kitchen. And the simplest to start with is truffles. You need to bear in mind that there's only one ratio: 2 parts chocolate and 1 part cream. Since this recipe has only three ingredients, it’s essential we use the best quality ones.
It's not a difficult job nowadays to procure excellent chocolate. Most supermarkets and online shops, international as well as domestic, carry wonderful products. I especially enjoy the Indian vegan brands on the market now. You can use any of the choices you choose. Cream is the other ingredient here. I just go with some of the local brands that are popular. Here, they work very well. I went dairy-free with coconut cream in this recipe, though. There is no coconut flavour at all, due to all the flavoured lavender.
With any flavouring of your choosing, you can play around. Add a little coffee, chai masala, pumpkin spice, some peanut or almond butter, maybe. You can roll them, dip them in chocolate or just eat them plain in cocoa powder, ground almonds/hazelnuts/pistachios. They are wealthy, decadent and completely irresistible! Great as a fuss-free dessert for entertaining or gifting purposes.
