11 Fusion Indian Recipes to Wow Your Guests

11. Cardamom-Saffron Chocolate Truffles

Finish with bite-sized truffles that blend deep chocolate with fragrant Indian aromatics like cardamom and saffron. Melt dark chocolate with warm cream (or coconut cream for vegan truffles), infuse with crushed cardamom and a few strands of saffron, then chill until firm. Scoop and roll into small balls, then coat in finely chopped pistachio, cocoa powder, or toasted coconut. These truffles are elegant on a small dessert plate and work well as part of a takeaway favor if you want guests to leave with a sweet reminder. They store well in the refrigerator and often taste better after resting for a day when flavours meld. Offer a nut-free dusting option, such as cocoa or powdered sugar, for guests with allergies and label them clearly. Pair with small cups of spiced coffee or masala chai for a satisfying finish that keeps the Indian flavor thread running through your menu.
