Truffle is one of the easiest sweets to make, whether with milk, semisweet or white chocolate. And this time I combine it with the floral flavor of roses. I really like pink.
I don’t remember when this happened, I just know that it’s a flavor that I really like. And it combines with so many other ingredients.
True, it needs to be used with caution. One more drop, goodbye dessert and hello soap! When used well, it has the ability to give that touchhe knows?
Strawberry and rose water are BFFs (best friends forever), it fits very well. I suggest trying it! Today’s sweet is best suited for those who already like it.
When I saw the little package dried roses, you knew that I would take. It’s not every day that I find an ingredient different. Okay, not that different. But I wanted to use it somehow and (for a change) it would be sweet.
Truffles are part of the sequence in the commemorative activities of 5 years of Prato Fundoas they harmonize well with PratoFundo by Simone Izumi.
White and Pink Chocolate Truffle
Makes: 15 units, depends on size
- 200 g chocolate branco
- 50 g UHT cream (box/can; 20% fat)
- 10 mL rose water (about)
- 3 g dry rose petal (food standard)
- More food pattern rose petals to decorate
- Pink gel dye (optional)
1 cup: 250mL | 1 tablespoon: 15mL.
- Separate the petals if there are hard pieces of flower stem and thorns. Only then separate the indicated quantity. Grind the petals in the processor to reduce their size.
- Heat the cream in the microwave for 20-30s (maximum power). Add the crushed rose petals. Mix well. Reserve.
- Melt the white chocolate in the microwave for 1 minute and 50 seconds, approximately at medium power. Stir well, there shouldn’t be any pieces of chocolate left behind.
- Add the rose infusion in the cream to the melted white chocolate. Mix well. Add the rose water little by little.
- The dye must also be added little by little, just for a slightly pink tone.
- Place in the fridge to firm up, about 20-30 minutes.
- Roll the truffles (15-10g) and coat in the rose petals. It is also possible to dip it in white chocolate and finish with the petals. Before bathing, take the truffles to the refrigerator just to cool a little, they may become soft due to the temperature of your hands.
- Dried rose petals: I found it in a natural products and tea store. The basic use is to make tea, therefore, it is a food standard. Decorative flowers should not be used.
- rose water: It is easily found in Arabic/Mediterranean product stores. It’s a clear liquid, yes?
