Elegant bite-sized gulab jamun truffles with a soft center wrapped in creamy white chocolate and topped with pistachios and edible rose petals. A beautiful Indian fusion dessert perfect for Diwali sweets, Holi celebrations, or adding to a festive dinner party menu.
Crumble the gulab jamuns in a mixing bowl, squeezing out excess syrup to prevent sogginess. Add the milk powder, almond flour (if using), cardamom, and rose water. Mix until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. If the mixture feels too wet, add a little more milk powder or almond flour.
Roll the mixture into small, even-sized balls. Place them on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for 10-15 minutes to firm up.
Dip each chilled ball into melted white chocolate, letting the excess drip off. Return to the parchment-lined tray. While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle with chopped pistachios and dried rose petals.
Refrigerate until the coating is firm. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Serve slightly chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
If using canned gulab jamuns, draining well is key to preventing the coating from slipping.
A double boiler or short microwave bursts will prevent white chocolate from seizing.
