Description
These Rose Truffles are a romantic and floral chocolate treat. Made with creamy white chocolate, fragrant rose water, and vibrant freeze-dried raspberries, they are elegant, simple to make, and perfect for gifting.
Ingredients
Scale
- 300g (10.5oz) white chocolate, chopped
- 55g (1.9oz) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 3 tbsp rose water
- 60g (approx. 1 cup) freeze-dried raspberries (or raspberry powder)
- 50g (1/2 cup, 1.8oz) powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- Crush the freeze-dried raspberries into a fine powder using a food processor or blender.
- Combine chopped white chocolate and butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals at medium power, stirring between each, until melted and smooth. Avoid burning the chocolate.
- Add the ground raspberries and rose water to the melted chocolate mixture. Whisk gently until combined, being careful not to incorporate too much air.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface. Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for 2-3 hours or overnight until firm. If butter separates, stir gently to reincorporate.
- Once firm, scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll into balls. Coat each ball in powdered sugar. If the mixture softens, refrigerate briefly.
- Place the formed truffles on a lined tray and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour to set completely.
Notes
- For a smoother texture and better mouthfeel, grind the raspberries as finely as possible.
- Use gentle heat when melting chocolate to prevent burning.
- Ensure the mixture is cold and firm before rolling the truffles.
- For an alternative coating, dip the truffles in melted chocolate.
- You can substitute freeze-dried strawberries for raspberries.
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- Uncoated truffles can be frozen for up to 1 month.
