I found out about rose truffles last week and now I'm hooked. Creamy white chocolate, zingy raspberries, and a bit of rosewater turn into something totally amazing. My kitchen smells incredible whenever I whip up a batch. They're so simple—my teenager doesn’t even need me hovering around.
Delightful Dessert For Any Moment
Floral flavors are my jam, and these little treats hit the spot. They're soft and just melt right away when you take a bite. The rose flavor is subtle and never too much. I love bringing them out at spring hangouts in the backyard—they always vanish first. That natural blush color looks gorgeous on any sweets spread.
What Goes In
- Powdered Sugar: Stops the truffles from sticking to your fingers when rolling
- Freeze Dried Raspberries: Half a cup smashed up super fine
- Butter: Two tablespoons unsalted, let it sit out to soften
- Rosewater: Three tablespoons, just check it's okay to eat
- White Chocolate: About ten ounces, spring for the fancy kind
Easy Rosewater Truffles
- Time To Scoop
- I grab my cookie scoop so they all turn out about the same then roll the balls in a cloud of powdered sugar. Toss them back in the fridge for one last chill.
- Let It Rest
- Once you've got your raspberry powder and rosewater mixed into the chocolate mixture, cover it up tight and stash it in the fridge. Give it a couple hours to get solid.
- Melt Down The Chocolate
- Put your chopped chocolate and butter in a bowl, nuke it for thirty seconds at a time, and stir after every round to keep it smooth.
- Crush The Berries
- I just pulse them up in the food processor until they’re dust.

Switch It Up
I’ve swapped in freeze-dried strawberries for raspberries before, and it works great. Try a little vanilla for something extra. Sometimes my daughter dips them in melted white chocolate and tosses on sprinkles—total showstoppers for parties.
Fun Ideas
One Valentine’s Day I shaped my truffles into hearts and pressed pistachios on top. So cute with the green and pink! One of my friends likes cardamom in hers—gives them a fancy vibe, like they'd sell at a chocolatier.
My Best Advice
Chop up your chocolate really tiny for smoother melting. Watch closely when you microwave—burned chocolate is the worst. Your mix needs to be good and cold for rolling or you'll have messy hands, I promise.
How I Roll 'Em
That cookie scoop never lets me down—everything comes out the right size. Roll fast while the dough’s still chilly, load on that powdered sugar, and you’ll have perfect little truffles.
Winning Moves
Don’t cheap out on the chocolate, it really shows. Crush your berries until there’s barely any chunks, or your treats will be bumpy. If your butter looks like it’s separating, a little extra mixing fixes it fast.
Storing Advice
The truffles will hang out in the fridge about a week if you store them airtight. I like to make the mixture ahead and roll them out the day folks come by. Skip freezing, though, the texture gets all wonky and nobody wants that.
Frequently Asked Questions
- → Where can I find rosewater?
Check Middle Eastern shops or the world foods area in bigger grocery stores. A lot of specialty markets have it too.
- → Can I use fresh raspberries instead?
Don't go for fresh raspberries here—they're too wet. Stick to freeze-dried ones so your truffles turn out just right.
- → Why did my chocolate seize up?
If you get your chocolate too hot or it gets any water in it, it'll clump up. Go slow with the heat and always use dry bowls and spoons.
- → How long do these truffles keep?
Pop them in a sealed box in your fridge, and they're good for about 2 weeks. Before serving, let them sit out for 15 minutes.
- → Can I use milk chocolate instead?
White chocolate really lets the raspberry and rose flavors shine. Milk chocolate can make them less delicate.
Conclusion
These raspberry rose chocolate sweets mix soft white chocolate, a hint of rosewater, and zingy raspberries. They're simple to make but look super fancy for any occasion you want to celebrate.
