Lavender Rose Chocolate Truffles
From the book, Whole Girl by Sadie Radinsky
INGREDIENTS:
- 1/2 cup coconut cream, from the top of a chilled 13 1/2-ounce can of full-fat coconut milk
- 1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
- 2 drops food-grade pure lavender oil
- 1/4 cup cacao powder
- 2 Tbsp dried rose petals, crushed
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Scoop the coconut cream into a double boiler. Heat the coconut cream until it’s hot to the touch, then pour in the chocolate. Turn the heat down to medium-low. Stir the chocolate and coconut cream together until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture forms a shiny ganache.
- Remove the ganache from heat and stir in the lavender oil. Place the bowl of ganache in the refrigerator to chill for 2 hours, or until completely solid.
- Line a plate with parchment paper. Scoop the chocolate mixture into 16 pieces using a tablespoon, and place on the plate. Don’t worry about forming the pieces into spheres yet. Place the plate back in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to firm up.
- Pour the cacao powder and crushed rose petals into 2 small separate bowls. Roll the refrigerated chocolate blobs into balls, then roll them in either cacao powder, rose petals, or leave them plain. Serve.
- Store leftover Lavender Rose Chocolate Truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 1 week, or freeze for up to 1 month. Defrost before serving.
