Description

Sweet, romantic chocolate-covered rose petals. A delightful dessert garnish or a special treat.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 bunch large, unblemished rose petals
  • 1 bar dark chocolate

Instructions

  1. Assemble 35 large, sturdy, organic rose petals. Rinse them with cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Optional: Dip rose petals in sugar.
  4. Melt chocolate in a heat-safe dish in the microwave at 50% power for 1-2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until melted and smooth.
  5. Dip 3/4 of each rose petal into the melted chocolate.
  6. Place the chocolate-dipped petals onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  7. Freeze the baking sheet for 30 minutes, or up to 5 hours, until the chocolate is firm and chilled.
  8. Serve the dark chocolate rose petals straight from the freezer on a chilled plate.
  9. Alternatively, use the petals as a topping for ice cream and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use only food-safe roses; avoid pesticide-treated flowers.
  • For a richer flavor, use high-quality dark chocolate with a high percentage of cacao.
  • Store the finished rose petals in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
