- ½ cup cream
- 2 tbsp Dried Lavender Buds (chopped) or 3-4 drops culinary grade lavender essential oil
- ½ lb bittersweet chopped into ½” chunks
- ½ lb Semi-sweet Chocolate chopped into ½” chunks
- 4 tbsp butter softened
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- ¼ cup icing sugar
Bring the cream and lavender buds (or essential oil) to a boil. Turn the stove off and remove the pot from the hot element. Allow the mixture to steep for 15 minutes, and then strain out the lavender.
Reheat the cream to a boil. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and stir until smooth and melted. Stir in the softened butter.
Chill in the fridge until solid.
Combine cocoa powder and icing sugar in a bowl and mix well with a fork.
Scoop out the truffle mixture with a melon baller or a spoon and form the truffles by rolling them between your hands. Drop each one into the bowl with the cocoa powder & icing sugar mixture, then toss until completely covered.
Remove and store covered in a cool dry place.
