Ingredients
  

For the Fudge Mixture
  • 1 can Evaporated Milk Can substitute with full-fat coconut milk for dairy-free
  • 2 tablespoons Culinary Lavender Buds Ensure using culinary grade
  • 2 cups Sugar Granulated sugar recommended
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter For better control of sweetness
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Sea salt preferred
  • 2 cups White Chocolate Chips Can use dairy-free chocolate
  • 1 teaspoon Lavender Vanilla Bourbon Extract Can replace with pure vanilla extract
For Optional Decoration
  • 1 drop Lavender Food Coloring Optional for visual appeal
  • 2 tablespoons Dried Lavender For sprinkling on top

Equipment

  • heavy saucepan
  • fine mesh sieve
  • 8x8 inch pan

Method
 

Steps
  1. Begin by pouring the evaporated milk into a heavy saucepan and adding the culinary lavender buds. Heat over medium heat until warm, about 5 minutes.
  2. Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the lavender to steep for 10 minutes. Strain out the lavender buds using a fine mesh sieve.
  3. In the same warm milk, add granulated sugar, unsalted butter, and sea salt. Stir continuously until combined and the sugar dissolves, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Return the saucepan to medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil while stirring constantly for 4-5 minutes.
  5. Perform the soft ball test: drop a small dollop of the mixture into cold water. If it forms a soft ball, it's ready.
  6. Remove the mixture from heat and stir in the white chocolate chips until fully melted and smooth.
  7. Next, stir in the lavender vanilla bourbon extract and, if using, the lavender food coloring. Mix thoroughly.
  8. Line an 8x8 inch pan with parchment paper or lightly grease. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and smooth it out.
  9. Optionally, sprinkle some dried lavender on top before letting the fudge cool at room temperature for about 2-3 hours.
