How to Make Christmas Truffles

Start by finely chopping your cranberries and pistachios.
In a double boiler, gently melt the white chocolate along with the butter and heavy cream, stirring until smooth.
Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the chopped cranberries and pistachios.
Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then transfer to the fridge for 2-3 hours.
Once chilled, scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into 1-inch balls.
Roll each truffle in powdered sugar until fully coated.

Notes

For an extra festive touch, consider adding a sprinkle of crushed pistachios on top before serving.
