Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1.5 cups cookie crumbs (graham crackers or digestive biscuits)
- 4 ounces (120 milliliters) cream cheese (softened)
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup almond flour
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1.5 teaspoons rose syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Garnish:
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut
- Dried rose petals
Instructions
- Craft a delectable base by thoroughly blending crushed cookie crumbs with cream cheese, creating a velvety mixture that incorporates powdered sugar, fragrant rose syrup, warm cardamom, subtle vanilla extract, and nutty almond flour.
- Gently manipulate the blend with your fingertips, forming uniform spherical shapes approximately one inch in diameter, arranging them carefully on a parchment-lined tray.
- Refrigerate the delicate orbs for half an hour, allowing them to solidify and develop a structured texture that will enhance their overall integrity.
- Delicately enrobe each truffle in a generous layer of fine shredded coconut, ensuring complete and even coverage that provides a pristine, snow-white exterior.
- Elevate the presentation by artfully sprinkling dried rose petals across the surface, transforming these confections into an elegant, romantically inspired dessert that captures both visual and gustatory sophistication.
- Maintain the truffles at a cool temperature until the moment of serving to preserve their refined structure and maximize flavor preservation.
Notes
- Customize the rose flavor by adjusting rose syrup quantity for a subtle or intense floral note.
- Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for smoother, easier mixing and perfect dough consistency.
- Swap almond flour with gluten-free alternatives like coconut or oat flour for dietary restrictions.
- Use dairy-free cream cheese and vegan cookie crumbs to create a completely plant-based version of these elegant truffles.
