When my parents were here for Christmas, the brought me some Violet essence that they had bought in France. I love to use flower essences in desserts. Jasmine is my favourite, but Orchid and Violet are a close second. Remember the recipe for my Jasmine and Mango Panna Cotta Shooters? And how about my Orchid and Chocolate Cupcakes? Today I will show you how to make White Chocolate and Violet Truffles instead. These chocolates are really easy to make, yet they are elegant and dainty. The violet essence and the candied violets add a delicate flowery taste to it, without being overpowering. Enjoy!
