Description

This DIY Lavender Chocolate Chips recipe combines rich dark chocolate with the delicate floral notes of culinary lavender, creating a unique and aromatic treat perfect for baking, snacking, or gifting. Quick to prepare and easy to customize, these chocolate chips add a sophisticated twist to your favorite recipes.

Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Base

  • 1 cup high-quality dark chocolate (60% cocoa content or higher)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 pinch sea salt

Flavoring

  • 1 tablespoon dried culinary lavender (food-grade)

Instructions

  1. Melt the chocolate: Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and place them in a microwave-safe bowl along with the coconut oil. Heat the mixture in 20-second intervals, stirring after each until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
  2. Infuse with lavender: Stir in the dried culinary lavender and allow the mixture to steep for about 5 minutes, enabling the chocolate to absorb the floral aroma and flavor of the lavender.
  3. Add salt: Mix in a pinch of sea salt to enhance and balance the flavors of the chocolate and lavender.
  4. Pour into molds: Carefully transfer the lavender-infused chocolate mixture into silicone molds or spread it evenly onto parchment paper to form a thin layer.
  5. Chill until set: Place the molds or parchment-lined tray in the refrigerator for approximately 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully hardened and firm to touch.
  6. Enjoy: Once set, remove the chocolate chips from the molds or break apart the chocolate if spread on parchment paper. Use as desired in baking, desserts, or as a flavorful snack.

Notes

  • Use food-grade culinary lavender to ensure safety and the best flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of lavender to your taste preference, but avoid overusing to prevent bitterness.
  • Store the lavender chocolate chips in an airtight container in a cool place or refrigerated for longer freshness.
  • These chocolate chips can be incorporated in cookies, muffins, or melted as a topping for desserts.
  • If you prefer, substitute coconut oil with another neutral oil to alter texture slightly.
