For 8 pralines I used:

Ingredients:

70 ml melted coconut butter
70 g white chocolate
3 Saffron strands
Cinnamon powder (optional)

Method:

Melt the coconut butter. Place Saffron in a bowl. Pour butter over Saffron while hot. Let steep for 5 or 10 minutes.

Meanwhile sprinkle cinnamon powder onto the bottom of each hole of the pralines mould ( I used a silicone mould).

Pour the Saffron infused butter back into the pot, on the stove. Reheat. Add chocolate. Stir until completely melted and emulsified.

Use a teaspoon to spoon the mixture into the mould. Let cool, refrigerate, let chill for 4 hours.

It does make a very special praline. Saffron dose I used is minimal, hence its taste is subtly present, but noticable.

It is summer, my kitchen has no AC, room temperature was possibly 29c to 31c. Pralines were stabile ( not melting away) for about 15 to 20 minutes, so if you need them to stand longer, refrigerate until next use.

Enjoy!

Very pretty Timenspace! Interestingly, Niki Segnit in her wonderful book The Flavour Thesaurus suggests pairing white chocolate and saffron. It's not something I would have thought of doing , so I reckon you were inspired! I like the simplicity of this recipe.

Oh thank you, much appreciated.
It was a happy coincidence, if there is such, but I really liked the pralines. Saffron was an inspiration, for sure, as well as this challenge.
If I do them again, which I might around Christmas time, I would use the 'cooking kind' of white chocolate...which gives a smoother texture...
