    Rose Cheesecake Truffles are an easy, no-bake, Indian fusion dessert. These are perfect dessert bites for parties and festivals.

    Rose Cheesecake Turffles

    Truffles are one of my favorite desserts, so I wanted to combine my favorite desserts with Rose for its beautiful floral flavor and pretty color. Simply gorgeous and delectable. And the rose truffles recipe was created.

    What are Rose Cheesecake Truffles?

    Rose cheesecake truffles are delicious dessert bites that are inspired by the Rose Flavored Indian Mithai meets Cheesecake. These cheesecake bites are easy no bake, no cook dessert which is perfect for your parties, or any festivals. The cardamom and vanilla in this recipe elevate the whole flavor palette and compliment the rose perfectly. And if someone from friends/family is having a baby shower, these will be perfect on the dessert table.

    Can we Make these Truffles Vegan?

    Although this recipe has significant use of dairy. You can totally replace cream cheese with Vegan Cream Cheese to make these. I also use heavy cream in the recipe, which can be replaced with coconut cream.

    Ingredients To Make Rose Cheesecake Truffles

    Rose Cheesecake Truffles

    You need a handful of ingredients to make these rose cheesecake truffles.

    Parle-G / Graham Crackers - I use Parle-G biscuits to add the rustic Indian taste to the dessert, but you can use graham crackers or digestive biscuits, If you can't find Parle-G.

    Cream Cheese - Full-fat cream cheese at room temperature works the best for this recipe. It gives a luscious texture to your truffles. If you want to make this recipe vegan, use Vegan Cream Cheese instead.

    Rose Syrup - India and Pakistan's most famous Roohafza has been winning our hearts for the longest time now. I use roohafza to flavor this dessert. Roohafza is easily available at any Indian Grocery Store and even on Amazon.

    If you can't find roofafza, you can replace it with 1.5 tsp of rose water and add a drop of red gel food color, for the pretty color.

    Cardamom - Freshly Ground cardamom/ Cardamom Powder cannot be replaced in this recipe. It gives delicious sweet undertones to this recipe, and that Indian dessert kick.

    Vanilla Extract - A good quality vanilla will bring a beautiful balance to all the flavors.

    Heavy Cream - Using heavy cream makes these cheesecake truffles light and airy. If you don't want to use heavy cream, substitute it with 1 Tbsp of Sour Cream, or 2 Tbsp of Greek Yogurt.

    Powdered Sugar - Using powdered sugar will make sure it incorporates into the mix flawlessly. Castor sugar will be very grainy to use in the truffles. If you don't have powdered sugar, you can blitz some castor sugar in a blender and then add.

    Desiccated Coconut and Dried Rose Petals - For Garnishing.
