Lavender isn’t just for scents and soap anymore, it’s now making its way into the kitchen—and we aren’t complaining. If you’re wondering how to take ordinary desserts to the next level using the delicate scent (and color!) of this edible flower, we’ve got you covered. Most of these 20 delicious recipes call for dried lavender (unless otherwise specified) and will immediately transport you to Provence.

Each delectable layer has a flavor all its own and when combined, the result is breathtaking. And lavender whipped cream? Um, yes please!

Seems fitting to use lavender in a classic French recipe, the Madeleine. This soft cookie in its classic form brings citrus and lavender together and would make a perfect addition to your morning tea or coffee.

Something tells us this would make a great dessert after a summer brunch. The rustic look of galette paired with antioxidant-rich blueberries and lavender is just as delicious as it is stunning.

blueberry and lavender religiuese

These adorable desserts look like they came straight out of a Victorian fairy tale. The petite religuise is made with two “choux”, which are two pastries filled with custard. The lavender blueberry syrup adds the right amount of color, and the cute blueberries on top tie it all together.

Turn breakfast up a notch with these flaky warm pastries filled with ricotta cheese and blueberries. The lavender adds major sophistication while the almonds give the dough an added crunch. Yum!

lavender vanilla bean french beignets

Normally dusted with powdered sugar, these beignets are topped in a lavender and vanilla bean icing and filled with vanilla cream. We think the American donut has a contender, and it’s this French Beignet.

This ice cream is refreshing, cool, and surprisingly easy to make. Instead of dried lavender, this recipe calls for earl grey lavender tea that is steeped directly into the milk before it is put into the ice cream maker. The result is adorable lavender-colored tastiness!

How cute is this delicate crepe cake? The buttery layers have lavender baked-in, while the honey pastry cream holds each layer together. This is definitely an adorable cake alternative if you’re fresh out of ideas.

The Clafouti recipe is a definite crowd-pleaser. Visually, it’s beautiful in a rustic way—and equally as delicious. Who doesn’t love fruit baked in a soft custard-like crust? Plus, the lavender gives a hint of sophistication that ties it all together.
