Ingredients
  

For the Truffles
  • 8 oz White Chocolate Feel free to substitute dark chocolate for a richer flavor.
  • ½ cup Cranberries Using unsweetened cranberries makes for a less sweet truffle.
  • ½ cup Pistachios Use either raw or toasted pistachios based on your preference.
  • 2 tbsp Butter Margarine can be used as an alternative.
  • ¼ cup Heavy Cream Always use fresh cream for best results.
For Coating
  • ½ cup Powdered Sugar This coating helps achieve a festive touch.

Equipment

  • heatproof bowl
  • double boiler
  • Shallow Container
  • Cookie Scoop

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Begin by finely chopping white chocolate and placing it into a heatproof bowl. Over a gentle stovetop or double boiler, melt the chocolate, 2 tablespoons of butter, and ¼ cup of heavy cream together, stirring frequently until smooth and creamy, about 5 minutes.
  2. Once melted, remove the bowl from heat and fold in ½ cup of chopped cranberries and ½ cup of crushed pistachios until everything is well incorporated.
  3. Transfer the mixture into a shallow container, cover it tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
  4. Once the mixture is thoroughly chilled, use a small cookie scoop to scoop out portions of the firmed mixture and roll each scoop gently between your palms to form small balls.
  5. Pour ½ cup of powdered sugar into a shallow dish and carefully roll each truffle ball in the sugar until well coated.
