This is no empty promise. The
loveliest chocolates can be made right in your kitchen. And truffles are the
easiest to start with. There is just one ratio you need to keep in mind- 2
parts chocolate and 1 part cream. Since this recipe has only three ingredients,
it’s important we use the best quality ones.
Nowadays, procuring excellent
chocolate is not a difficult task. Most of the supermarkets and online
stores carry wonderful brands, international as well as domestic. I
particularly enjoy the vegan Indian brands in the market now. You can use
any of your choice. The other ingredient here is cream. I just go with any of
the known local brands. They work very well here. In this recipe though, I went
dairy free with coconut cream. Thanks to all the infused lavender, there is no
coconut flavour at all.
Dried lavender is a delight! Its
distinctive, soft floral notes brighten up any confection, like in these Lavender
& Lemon Madeleines and Lavender Scones. Its wonderful for making infused
waters, tea, salad dressings, jellies, icecreams…and with chocolate, it works
like a charm! You can buy it easily online and if you’re in Delhi/Gurgaon area,
do look up Mittal Teas in Sundar Nagar. They keep a stock of
this too.
You can play around with any
flavouring of your choice. Add some coffee, chai masala, pumpkin spice, maybe
even some peanut or almond butter. You can roll them in cocoa powder, ground
almonds/hazelnuts/pistachios, dip them in chocolate or just eat them plain.
They are rich, decadent and absolutely irresistible! Perfect as fuss-free dessert
when entertaining or for gifting.
