Lavender Lemon Wafer Truffles, featuring white chocolate and a floral hint, are luscious summer treats. Made with just four simple ingredients, these easy truffles will not disappoint.

Hello, folks! I hope you’re doing well and that my American and Canadian readers enjoyed a great long weekend.

As summer winds down, autumn recipes are appearing everywhere. I’m almost ready to embrace cozy fall flavors. But first, I have a few more summer recipes to share.

Let’s dive into another lavender recipe – an easy, tasty dessert: Lavender Lemon Wafer Truffles.

What Are Wafer Cookies?

Wafer cookies are thin, light, and crispy biscuits made from a liquid batter, normally with a waffle-like surface. They are typically assembled like sandwich cookies, alternating the layers of wafers and creamy filling. You can enjoy wafer cookies on their own, or elevate them to another, more exciting level by using them in a recipe. Even more, add some lavender to make a fancy-sounding dessert.

Why You’ll Love These Wafer Truffles with Lemon and Lavender?

• They are a breeze to make, requiring under 30 minutes of preparation time with only four ingredients.
• You can enjoy them right away, though they will taste even better after a couple of hours.
• It’s an inexpensive recipe.
• You are elevating simple store-bought wafers into an elegant treat that you can even present as a gift.

Ingredients You’ll Need for Lavender Lemon Wafer Truffles

You’ll need only four ingredients:

• Wafer Cookies with a filling – the base of these truffles. Look for a light or neutral flavour of the filling, such as vanilla or lemon. More decadent varieties (e.g., chocolate, hazelnut, etc.) will not work in this recipe. Also, if possible, look for wafers with less sugar content.
• White Chocolate – adds sweetness and binds everything together.
• Lemon – both lemon and zest add freshness and balance the sweetness.
• Dried lavender buds – minced or rubbed with your fingers. As a rule of thumb, it’s better to add less than more. Adding too much can give a perfumy, soapy aroma. Be sure to use culinary-grade lavender. You can use fresh lavender buds from your garden. Make sure it’s a variety suitable for cooking. Culinary lavender tends to have a mild, less perfume-forward aroma.

Ingredients

• 400 g wafers with a creamy filling (vanilla or lemon)
  may need a few extra wafers

• 100 g white chocolate, finely chopped

• 1 lemon, zested

• 1 tbsp. (15 ml) lemon juice
  may need a little more depending on consistency

• 1/2 tsp. dried lavender buds, finely minced
  or slightly more, for a more pronounced aroma

Directions

• Put chopped white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 15-20 second bursts, stirring each time. Two or three intervals should melt it.
  
• Process the wafers in a kitchen processor until they are fine. Clustering is normal due to the filling. Set aside 1/2 cup of crumbs.
• Put the remaining crumbs in a bowl. Add the melted chocolate, lemon zest, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and lavender. Mix with a spatula. The dough should be sticky and damp but hold its shape. If it’s too dry, add more lemon juice. If the mixture is too wet, add more wafers. Also, at this point you may try and add more lavender, if desired.
• Using your hands, shape out truffles. Depending on the size, you should be able to get about 18 to 24 truffles. Roll them out in the reserved crumbs.
• Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. Ideally, serve at room temperature.lace the chopped white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 15-20-second intervals, stirring every time between each interval. Depending on how fine you chopped it, 2 to 3 intervals should be enough.
