If you adore white chocolate as much as we do, then prepare yourself for a lovely surprise. Rich, creamy and delightful with just a hint of lemon and lavender, fresh from the garden. A small bite is sure to satisfy. Delicious served with a hot cup of coffee or tea.
ingredients:
16 ounces guittard or ghirardelli white chocolate chips
1 can eagle brand sweetened condensed milk
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon of good quality lemon extract
1 heaping tablespoon fresh culinary lavender or half tablespoon of dried lavender, minced
1 cup raw, unsalted pecans or walnuts, coarsely chopped and pan roasted
Line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper. Place the pecans in a pan over medium-high heat for about 5-6 minutes. Gently shake the pan to allow even roasting. Layer the bottom of the lined pan with the roasted pecans.
Meanwhile, bring about an inch of water to a simmer in large sauce pan. Use a glass mixing bowl that is slightly larger than the sauce pan insuring that the water falls below the bottom of the bowl. Add the milk, extract, lavender and butter to the bowl and blend well.
Slowly add the chips, stirring constantly to keep them from burning, this should take about 6-7 minutes. Once all of the chips have melted, carefully pour the mixture over the layer of roasted pecans.
Put the fudge into the fridge and allow to cool for 2 hours. This can also be stored in the freezer. Once set, invert on a cutting board and cut into bite size pieces. Enjoy!
