ROSe Pistachio Homemade Truffles

Rose Pistachio homemade truffles are one of the most easiest and simplest desserts one can make. Kids love making it and you can make it with variety of flavours, fruits and nuts. I am sure you will love the boozy Christmas Cake Truffle I made last Christmas.

Ingredients

225gms -Dark Chocolate, finely chopped

2/3 cup – Heavy cream, I use milky mist

1 Tbsp –  unsalted butter at room temperature

Coarsely ground dry Rose petals and Pistachios

1/2 cup – Chopped dark chocolate for coating

Method

To make the Rose Pistachio Homemade truffles, place the chocolate in a glass bowl. Set aside.

In a saucepan heat the heavy cream until it is simmering. Do not boil it.

Add the butter to the chocolate and pour the heavy cream evenly on top. Let the warm cream and chocolate sit for 5 minutes minutes.

Stir the chocolate using a spatula till it completely smooth and silky.

Add rose petals and pistachios to it and mix well. Keep some rose petals and pistachios for topping.

Pour it into a baking tray and place a piece of cling film directly on the surface and refrigerate for 1-2 hours. Cover it well to avoid any condensation.

Scoop the set truffle mixture into 1 Tbsp -sized mounds.

Roll each into balls between your palms.

Place these balls in the refrigerator till you prepare the chocolate coating.

Place the chopped chocolate for coating in a glass bowl. Place it on a saucepan with boiling water.

Let the chocolate melt. Stir it with a spatula till it is smooth and silky.

Take out the chocolate balls from the refrigerator.

Drop one into the melted chocolate. Using a fork take it out making sure all the extra chocolate drips out into the bowl. This will ensure a thin and crisp outer coating.

Sprinkle rose petals and pistachios on top. It sets very quickly. Serve them at room temperature.

Store them in an air tight box or refrigerate.
