Wham!
That’s when it hits you.
A beautiful rose perfume that enlightens your whole senses.
Surprisingly enough, I find the deep chocolatey tones coupled with the delicate rose petals work like a dream.
A word of caution:
Rose petals carry a STRONG flavour and aroma.
By all means, use as much as you like.
But be careful, you can easily go overboard.
Why dried rose petals?
Well, like I said, rose petals have a strong perfume and the flavour lasts much longer than rose water or extract.
How do I know this?
I did a test!
Rose Petals Or Rose Water/Extract??
I made two recipes, one with organic rose water, the other with dried rose petals.
Sadly, I found the rose water and extract didn’t live up to my expectations.
I had to use quite a bit to get EVEN the slightest taste of rose.
Not only that, the flavour and aroma didn’t last very long and quickly dispersed within a day or two.
In the end, I couldn’t even taste or smell rose.
As for the rose petal recipe, I only used a wee bit and the scent and flavoured lasted weeks on end.
And I mean weeks!
I used Health Embassy Rose Dried Petals.
The quality of their rose petals is above and beyond.
Fresh, floral and flavoursome.
Besides, they make a great cup of rose tea too!
Now it’s your turn to make these sumptuous rosy hearts.
Superhero Chocolate Treat
Did you know that rose water and petals contain a super source of vitamin C?
Well, you do now.
I love using superhero ingredients in my chocolate.
Because it makes me feel less guilty…ha! 🙂

- Melt the cacao butter on a low heat slowly in a pan.

- Sieve the coconut sugar in and mix until smooth.

- At this point, your kitchen will smell like roses 🙂
- Pour into your heart-shaped mould and leave to set. If you want them sooner, pop them in the fridge or freezer until set.

Hi, I read what you said about rose petals being better than rose water, so i bought a bag, they smell fabulous, but when I came to try your recipe I noticed you use rose water/extract too.
I don’t have any and the chocolate has no smell or taste of rose from using the petals. Not even while making it.
