I noticed the other reviewers left the rose petals out of the recipe when they made it, but I think that is a mistake as the rose flavour is what makes this pie so unique. It is otherwise sort of like a chocolate mousse type of pie and really good, but for that extra something you need to make the whole recipe without leaving stuff out!

I couldn't find rose petals per say, but, if you go to any Middle Eastern or Israeli grocery (and even in the international aisle of some regular grocery stores you will find something called Rose Water, which is basically a liquid infused with rose petals. It looks just like plain clear water, but has the distinct taste and aroma of sweet rose petals. I used a little bit of this in the ganache for the rose essence and it was great. The first time I think I put too much liquid in which interfered with the ganache solidifying properly, but I reduced the amount to about one tablespoon and it was perfect.

You get the rich chocolate and marscapone, the crunchy crust, and then this wonderful taste and aroma of sweet rose petals which really makes this pie totally different than anything else I've tried. Good bet for dessert! I guess if you don't like the taste/smell of roses leave it out, but you should try it out and taste the ganache with it. if you don't like it you can always leave it out and make a new ganache...ganache is ridiculously easy to make.

FYI- the rose water is good for other things too, like, put some in freshly made ice tea for a middle eastern flair, its really good. it's used in alot of Israeli and middle eastern cooking.

This was a hit! I left out the rose pedals and didnt know what kind of cookies to get so I used oreos and left out some of the butter in the crust. It was delicious and I would definitely make it again.

I made this for dessert on Thanksgiving. I received rave reviews from my guests, who actually asked for the recipe. I made a few adjustments to the recipe including leaving out the rose petals and using a mixture of semi-sweet and bittersweet chocolate chips for the ganache. I will make this again, it was wonderful!
