Method
Preparation
Infuse the Cream
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat, add the lavender buds, and let steep for 15 minutes. Strain the cream to remove the lavender, and set aside.
Melt the Chocolate
In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate over a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
Whip the Cream
In a large bowl, whip the infused cream until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
Combine Mixtures
Carefully fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until fully combined. Be gentle to maintain the airiness of the mousse.
Set the Mousse
Pour the mousse into individual serving dishes or a mold and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
