Description
Delicate and floral rose truffles made with just five simple ingredients, perfect for Valentine’s Day or any special occasion. These creamy white chocolate ganache truffles offer a romantic hint of rose water and are easy to make at home.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz (225 g) white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate
- ½ cup (120 ml) heavy cream
- 2 tbsp (28 g) unsalted butter
- 1 tsp rose water
- 2 tbsp (15 g) powdered sugar
- Optional: cocoa powder or crushed pistachios for rolling
Instructions
- Heat the heavy cream and butter together in a medium saucepan over medium heat until the butter melts and the mixture just starts to simmer. Do not boil.
- Place the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Pour the hot cream mixture over the chocolate and let it sit for 1 minute to soften.
- Gently stir with a spatula until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy to form the ganache.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon of rose water and sifted powdered sugar until fully combined. Adjust rose water to taste if desired.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30-45 minutes until firm but scoopable.
- Using a teaspoon or small scoop, portion out the ganache and quickly roll into balls between your palms.
- Optionally, roll the truffles in cocoa powder, crushed pistachios, or edible rose petals for coating.
- Place coated truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill for at least 1 hour until firm and set.
Notes
Do not rush chilling the ganache; it should be firm but not rock-hard. Use a light touch when rolling to avoid squishing the ganache. Keep hands cool or dust with powdered sugar to prevent sticking. Store truffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week or freeze for up to 3 months.
