Start by heating the heavy cream and dried lavender in a saucepan until it just begins to simmer. This will infuse the cream with the delicate flavor of lavender. Once simmered, strain out the lavender buds and pour the cream over finely chopped chocolate. Stir slowly until the chocolate melts completely, creating a smooth ganache. Add a bit of honey and butter for an extra touch of richness and velvety texture.
Allow the ganache to cool to room temperature before refrigerating it for a few hours. This step is crucial as it will make the truffle mixture firm and easy to shape. Once firm, use a small scoop or spoon to form the ganache into bite-sized balls. Roll these balls in your hands to create a nice, uniform shape. For a finishing touch, you can coat the truffles in cocoa powder, powdered sugar, or melted chocolate.
You can gift these homemade lavender truffles in a pretty box or tin to your Valentine. Or, save them for a romantic evening together. No matter how you choose to enjoy them, these truffles are sure to make the day special. With their rich chocolate flavor and subtle hint of lavender, your Valentine will know just how much you care.
