Ingredients You’ll Need

Below are the ingredients that make these rose truffles rich, smooth, and beautifully flavored, along with tips I learned while making them:

White chocolate (300 g / 10.5 oz, finely chopped) – Use high-quality white chocolate bars instead of chips. Bars melt smoother and give a creamier truffle texture.
Unsalted butter (55 g / 1.9 oz, room temperature) – Soft butter blends easily and adds richness without overpowering the floral notes.
Edible rosewater (3 tablespoons) – This is the main flavor, so always use food-grade rosewater. A little goes a long way.
Freeze-dried raspberries (60 g / 2 oz) – These add natural color and a subtle fruity contrast that balances the sweetness.
Powdered sugar (50 g / 1.8 oz, for coating) – Lightly coats the truffles and keeps them from sticking while adding a delicate finish.

Note: This recipe makes several servings, yielding approximately 18–20 truffles depending on size. You can also enjoy similar comfort-food flavors in the Crock Pot Cajun Chicken Pasta Recipe for a hearty meal alongside your sweet treats.

Variations

If you want to customize these rose truffles, here are a few easy ideas:

Dairy-free option: Use dairy-free white chocolate and vegan butter with similar fat content.
Sugar-reduced option: Skip the powdered sugar coating and roll truffles in raspberry powder or cocoa powder.
Extra flavor: Add a drop of vanilla extract or a splash of raspberry essence for more depth.
Chocolate-coated version: Dip the truffles in melted dark or milk chocolate for a firmer outer shell.

How to Make Rose Truffles Recipe?

These steps are simple and beginner-friendly. Just take your time and enjoy the process.

Prepare the Raspberry Powder

Start by placing the freeze-dried raspberries into a food processor. Pulse until they turn into a fine powder. This helps color the truffles evenly and avoids a grainy texture.

Melt the Chocolate and Butter

Add the chopped white chocolate and butter to a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in short intervals, stirring each time, until fully melted and smooth. Gentle heat keeps the chocolate glossy and creamy.

Mix the Truffle Base

Stir the raspberry powder and rosewater into the melted chocolate mixture. Mix slowly until everything is well combined and smooth. Cover the surface directly and refrigerate until firm.

Shape and Coat the Truffles

Once chilled, scoop small portions and roll them gently into balls. Coat each truffle lightly in powdered sugar. If the mixture softens, chill again before continuing.

Additional Tips for Making This Recipe Better

I always use high-quality white chocolate for better melting and flavor.
I learned not to overdo the rosewater — subtle flavor tastes more elegant.
I chill the mixture thoroughly before shaping to keep truffles neat.
