Sweet and rich milk chocolate and fragrant rose water are swirled together in a thick, rich brownie batter. This recipe creates truly intoxicating golden topped brownie. Finished with a simple dried rose and sea salt garnish, these Fudgy milk chocolate rose brownies brownies will add a touch of romance to any occasion.
I did not know it was possible to lust after brownies until I created these. These fudgy milk chocolate rose brownies are rich in milk chocolate flavor, with a very fragile floral flavor, and a hint of salt.
The inspiration.
These fudgy milk chocolate rose brownies are my February mood. Floral and sweet, truly unique. I received a bottle of rose water as a Christmas gift, and have been dreaming of a way to bake it with some chocolate. I’ve yet to publish a chocolate recipe on the blog, and what better way to introduce a recipe than this one that I adore. Milk chocolate + rose is celebration of the month of February, offering sweet escapism. And unique flavors that are sensory joy with each bite.
The ingredients
- 2/3 cup (85 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp espresso powder
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup (175 g) unsalted butter,
- 1 1/5 cups (3000) g granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1/3 cup (75 g) dutch processed cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp vanilla bean extract
- 1 1/3 cup (200 g) dark chocolate chips or rose chocolate chunks
- 1 tablespoon rose water
- OPTIONAL: dried rose buds or candied rose petals for garnish
How to make:
- Preheat your oven to 350 F and line a 8×8 pan with parchment paper, letting the paper hang over the sides for easy removal.
- On medium – low setting in a medium – large saucepan, melt your chocolate and butter, stirring consistently. Do not let it bubble or get too hot.
- Remove from heat and add in your cocoa powder
- Next, add your sugar and rose water
- Then, add your flour
- By now, the melted chocolate should have cooled some. If it’s cooled, add in your eggs. If it’s still hot, let it cool for another minute or two.
- Make sure all ingredients are mixed well and pour batter into your pan.
- Bake for 35 minutes, A wooden skewer inserted into the middle should not come out clean but with a few moist crumbs attached.
Note:
This batter is thick, so if it is underdone, continue to bake as long as needed. I have made these brownies on several occasions, and once or twice I needed to bake them an additional 5 minutes.

Very disappointed. Had a grainy texture and way too tart. I did notice that the recipe that the cocoa stated 1/3 cup 75 grams. I use a scale to measure ingredients and it looked like way too much which may be the problem.

Hi Jamie, oh dear that does sound really dissapopoiting. Sorry these brownies weren’t a hit for you. I worried about the cocoa ratio, so I headed to google to check other brownie recipes. Actually the first 10 I saw on google all had more cocoa powder, and the top three had considerably more. I don’t think the cocoa powder alone made them bitter, it was more likely the type of melted chocolate used. Especially if it was really dark. I really can’t explain the grainy texture. I’ve made these dozens of times and never have they been grainy.Thank you for trying my recipe! Wish I had a better explination to help with the outcome, they are usually very popular.

Hi these look great. At what point do you add the salt and the dried petals? Before you bake it?
sarah says
Thank you so much! I add salt and petals after I bake them as a garnish
