    Motichoor Truffles Recipe – Classic Indian motichoor laddus are covered with white chocolate. A unique, indulgent and beautiful fusion Indian dessert that is sure to impress!

    What is motichoor ladoo?

    Motichoor ladoo is a classic Indian sweet made from small, deep-fried balls of besan or gram flour, which are then soaked in a sugar syrup. “moti” means pearl, and “chur” means crushed, so “motichur” translates “crushed pearls”.

    These laddus are often served at festivals, weddings, and other special occasions. They have a unique texture and a flavor that is infused with cardamom and saffron.

    What are motichoor truffles?

    Motichoor truffles are a delicious and unique fusion dessert that combines the flavors of Indian sweets with the luxurious texture of chocolate.

    It is a fusion Indian dessert or sweet where the classic motichur laddus are coated with white chocolate and decorated with chopped nuts to get the festive look.

    These little treats are perfect for festivals, special occasions and celebrations and are sure to be a hit with anyone who tries them.

    Why you’ll love this recipe:

    It is a versatile dessert that can be served for any occasion.

    It has a unique flavor and texture.

    Super easy to make and doesn’t require any expert skills.

    Can be made in no time with easily available ingredients.

    You can make it ahead of time for festivals and diwali parties.

    Ideal for dessert tables or as party favors.

    Ingredients:

    Motichoor Ladoos – Homemade or store-bought ladoos can be used in this recipe. You can get these ladoos from any Indian sweet shops or mithai shops. Any leftover ladoos can be used to make this dessert. Frozen ladoos can be used as well.

    White Chocolate – I have used white chocolate bar in this recipe. You could also use white chocolate chips, almond bark or melting wafers.

    Nuts & Edible silver leaf – These are optional but they definitely enhance the look and taste of the truffles. You can any of your favorite nuts or sprinkles.

    Storage suggestions:

    These can be stored for up to 4 days in refrigerator.

    Place them in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator.

    Serving suggestions:

    Serve them chilled as a dessert

    These can be a perfect edible gift during Holi, Diwali and Christmas!

    Tips & Notes:

    Use a good quality chocolate for the best taste and flavor.

    If you are using chocolate slab, chop them into fine pieces, it will melt evenly.

    Sprinkle toppings immediately, otherwise they won’t stick.

    If you want to make bite-sized truffles, crumble the laddus and roll into desired sized balls before chilling.

    Step by step instructions:

    Arrange the laddus on a lined plate or tray and let them chill in the freezer for 30 minutes.

    Heat some water in a pan or vessel over low heat and place a heat resistant bowl on top of the water pot.

    Add chopped white chocolate into the top bowl.

    Keep stirring with a spatula until it is almost melted.

    Remove it from the heat and continue stirring until smooth and shiny.

    Transfer it to a small bowl.

    Take the laddus out of the freezer.

    Dip each chilled ladoo into the melted chocolate and coat it well.

    Tap to remove the excess chocolate.

    Place it back to the lined plate or tray.

    Immediately, sprinkle chopped nuts on top.

    Let them set and serve!
