Description
Handcrafted chocolate chips infused with organic culinary lavender for a gourmet floral finish to your baked goods.
Ingredients
12 ounces high-quality chocolate (dark, milk, or white)
1.5 tablespoons dried culinary-grade English lavender
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt (optional)
1/2 vanilla bean, scraped (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Line a large baking sheet with high-quality parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Step 2: Finely crush the dried lavender buds using a mortar and pestle or a spice grinder to release their natural oils.
Step 3: Melt the chocolate using a double boiler over low heat, stirring continuously until smooth and glossy.
Step 4: Stir the crushed lavender and salt into the melted chocolate and let it steep for 5 minutes away from the heat.
Step 5: Pour the chocolate into a piping bag and pipe small dots onto the prepared sheet, lifting upwards to create the chip point.
Step 6: Let the chips cool completely at room temperature or in a cool pantry until hard and firm to the touch.
Notes
Always ensure your lavender is labeled 'culinary grade' to ensure it is safe for eating and has the best flavor profile.
