Ingredients
340g white chocolate (high quality, chopped)
120ml heavy cream
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
60g dried cranberries (finely chopped)
60g shelled pistachios (finely chopped)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt
100g powdered sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
1. Chop the white chocolate finely and place it in a heatproof bowl.
2. In a small saucepan, heat the cream and butter over medium heat until just simmering.
3. Pour the hot cream mixture over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for 2 minutes.
4. Stir gently until smooth and glossy. If needed, place over a simmering water bath to finish melting.
5. Stir in vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
6. Fold in chopped cranberries and pistachios evenly.
7. Cover the bowl and chill the mixture for at least 2 hours or overnight.
8. Scoop out portions and roll into smooth truffle balls.
9. Roll each truffle in powdered sugar until fully coated.
10. Store in the fridge in an airtight container. Let sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Keep your hands cold to prevent melting while rolling.
Use high-quality chocolate bars for the smoothest ganache.
Roll twice in powdered sugar for an extra snowy look before serving.
