Motichoor Ladoo Truffles Fusion Indian Dessert Recipe

About the recipe

Diwali is around the corner. Since I host a wide range of guests during the holidays, I like to make traditional desserts first and then use half a portion of these desserts in another recipe from a different part of the world to create a fusion. Fusion desserts are fun to make. Their flavors are interesting and look more pretty and festive. My guests love such surprises, and their reactions make me happy. The truffles recipe shared here is a build-on recipe for motichoor ladoo that I posted yesterday. Last year I made burfi first, followed by burfi cheesecake jars. This Diwali, I am making motichoor ladoo on day 1, followed by motichur laddu truffles - on day 2. I am planning to prepare another build-on recipe using these motichoor truffles. Guess what is coming up next. If you do not want to make ladoo at home, you can use halwai or store-bought ladoo and still do these truffles. Gulab Jamun, Motichoor Ladoo, and Rasmalai are three popular Indian sweets I prefer when preparing fusion desserts like cheesecake, mousse, parfait, trifles, etc. The reason for choosing these traditional sweets is that they are already a crowd favorite, and thus it takes minimal effort to get a rave reaction from my guests when I prepare fusion recipes using these.

Ingredients

200 grams of White chocolate or Milk Chocolate12 Motichoor Ladoo1 tablespoon Pistachios choppedRose petals, for garnishVark for garnish

How to make Motichoor Ladoo Truffles

Keep the motichoor ladoo in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This is because it is easy to coat chocolates with firm ladoos than softer ones. I generally make ladoos a day in advance and keep them in the refrigerator, and then the next day, I make truffles. Using the double boiler method or microwave, melt the chocolate. Use a whisk to get smooth melted chocolate. Dip each ladoo in melted chocolate and transfer it to a plate or wire rack. Garnish with pistachios and let this sit for 5 minutes. The chocolate will set quickly as the laddus are cold from storing in the refrigerator. Now decorate it with vark or rose petals. Motichoor truffles are one of the best festive desserts to add to mithai boxes or sweet boxes this Diwali season.

Storage suggestions

You can keep this in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. It also remains fresh for 1 to 2 days at room temperature.

Variations

Instead of motichoor truffles, you can make the following truffles. The recipe is simple. Use your favorite Indian sweet, dip and coat in white chocolate or milk chocolate, and garnish with your favorite nuts.

Any Indian sweet that you can roll into a round shape can be converted into truffles. Even burfi and halwa can be shaped as balls and then placed in the refrigerator to set. So, what truffle are you going to make this Diwali?
