Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces (225 grams) white chocolate chips or finely chopped white chocolate
- ½ cup (120 ml) heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons (28 grams) unsalted butter, softened
- A few drops natural pink food coloring (optional) or beet juice powder
- 1 teaspoon pure rose water
- 2 tablespoons (15 grams) powdered sugar
- ½ cup (60 grams) finely chopped pistachios, shelled and unsalted
- Optional garnish: dried rose petals or edible glitter
Instructions
- Finely chop 8 ounces (225 grams) of white chocolate and place into a heatproof bowl.
- Warm ½ cup (120 ml) of heavy cream in a medium saucepan over medium heat until it just starts to simmer (around 180°F / 82°C), do not boil.
- Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir gently with a rubber spatula until smooth and glossy.
- Add 2 tablespoons (28 grams) of softened unsalted butter and stir until fully incorporated.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon of pure rose water and a few drops of natural pink food coloring or beet juice powder until color is evenly distributed.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 2 hours until the ganache is firm but scoopable.
- While chilling, finely chop ½ cup (60 grams) pistachios and sift 2 tablespoons (15 grams) powdered sugar into separate bowls.
- Using a small cookie scoop or teaspoon, scoop portions of ganache and quickly roll between palms to form smooth truffles. Chill if mixture becomes too soft.
- Roll half the truffles in chopped pistachios and dust the remaining with powdered sugar. Optionally, sprinkle dried rose petals or edible glitter on top.
- Place coated truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes to set completely.
- Bring truffles to room temperature for about 10 minutes before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
Notes
Use high-quality white chocolate for best texture and flavor. Avoid boiling cream to prevent ganache separation. Chill ganache properly before shaping. Work quickly when rolling truffles to prevent melting. Store airtight in fridge to maintain texture and flavor. Variations include vegan substitutions and flavor swaps like orange blossom water or lavender extract.
