These Pistachio Cranberry White Chocolate Truffles are honestly one of my favorite easy Christmas treats ever. They take just a few minutes to make, no baking, no fuss, just melt the chocolate, stir everything together, roll, and chill. That’s it. And they taste so good.
7 oz (200g) white chocolate, good quality, cut into small pieces
1/4 cup (60ml) whipping cream (30-35%fat)
1tbsp (14g) butter
1/4tsp(1g) salt
1/2 tsp (3g) vanilla extract
1/3 cup (40g) pistachios, chopped
1/3 cup (40g) dried cranberries
1/2 cup(60g) chopped pistachios, for rolling the truffles
Instructions
Place the white chocolate and cream into a heatproof bowl.
Melt the white chocolate with the cream over a bain-marie on low heat. Stir continuously until the chocolate is almost melted.
Add the butter and keep stirring until the mixture is completely smooth.
Remove from heat.
Stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Fold in the pistachios and cranberries.
Let the mixture cool slightly, then cover and refrigerate for 2–3 hours, or until firm enough to roll into balls. Give it a stir once or twice as it chills.
Scoop small portions with a teaspoon and roll them into balls.
Coat each truffle in chopped pistachios.
Serve right away or refrigerate until needed. They keep well in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
