Equipment

Ingredients

  • 10-12 gulab jamun homemade or from a can, drained
  • 2 tablespoons milk powder
  • 1 tablespoon almond flour optional, for binding
  • ½ teaspoon ground cardamom
  • ¼ teaspoon rose water optional
  • 6-8 oz white chocolate melted
  • 2 tablespoons pistachios chopped
  • 1 tablespoon dried rose petals

Instructions

  • 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.
  • It can be made a day ahead for easy entertaining.
