A delightful treat combining sweet white chocolate with tart cranberries and crunchy pistachios, perfect for any festive occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 tbsp Butter (unsalted)
  • 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar (for rolling)

Instructions

  1. Chop the white chocolate into small pieces if using bars; if using chips, skip this step. Measure out the heavy cream and set aside powdered sugar.

  3. Add chopped white chocolate to the saucepan, stirring until fully melted and smooth.
  4. Remove from heat and fold in cranberries, ensuring even distribution.
  5. Cool the mixture for about 10 minutes, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  6. Chop the pistachios finely and transfer to a shallow dish.
  7. Once chilled, scoop small portions of the mixture and roll into 1-inch balls.
  8. Roll each truffle in chopped pistachios until coated.
  9. Dust lightly with powdered sugar after coating.
  10. Refrigerate truffles for an additional 30 minutes before serving.
  11. Serve at room temperature for best flavor and texture.
