Description

These easy-to-make rose truffles feature real dried rose petals, white chocolate, rosewater, and cream. The soft pink hue adds a romantic touch for Valentine’s Day.


Ingredients

Scale

125 milliliters whipping cream (1/2 cup), plus more for topping up
2 grams dried rose petals (about 3 tablespoons)
200 grams chopped white chocolate (7 ounces, or 1 1/4 cups)
15 grams unsalted butter, softened (1 tablespoon)
1/2 teaspoon rosewater
Pink gel food coloring (optional)

Confectioner’s sugar, for rolling the truffles


Instructions

In a small saucepan, stir together whipping cream and rose petals.

Rose petals in a saucepan of cream

Gently warm over low heat until steaming. Do not boil.

Soaking rose petals in cream

Remove from heat, cover, and allow the tea to steep in the cream for at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 hour. (The longer it steeps, the stronger the rose flavor will be.)

Pass the cream through a fine mesh strainer to remove the petals.

Straining rose petals out of cream

Re-weigh the infused cream to 60 milliliters (1/4 cup). Discard the petals. If necessary, “top up” with additional cream to reach the required amount.

A bowl of rose infused cream

Pour into a small saucepan and gently rewarm over low heat.

Meanwhile, add the chopped white chocolate to a bain marie or double boiler. Melt, stirring gently, until completely melted.

Melted white chocolate and a whisk

Whisk the warmed cream into the white chocolate, followed by the butter. Remove from heat.

Cover bowl with clingfilm/plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm enough to scoop, about 2 hours.

Rose and white chocolate ganache in a bowl

Line a tray with parchment or a silicone mat. With a melon baller, divide the chilled ganache into 18 portions. Use your hands to roll each portion into a ball. Place truffles on prepared tray and chill until firm.
