Stir well until the chocolate melts.
Let the mixture cool down for about 6 hours at room temperature or refrigerate overnight.
Whip the cream into a cold bowl, add the other ingredients and whip until you have a smooth but firm mixture.
Divide the cream in half, you will need one half for the mascarpone-chocolate ganache cream and the other for mascarpone-rose water cream.
Mix one half of the mascarpone cream with the cold ganache.
Pour two thirds of it into a piping bag with a large hole and the rest into a piping bag with a star-shaped nozzle.
Place in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Beat the other half of mascarpone cream with rose water until creamy.
Add pink food coloring and mix in.
