Ingredients
  

For the truffles
  • 1 cup dried cranberries, chopped
  • 1/2 cup shelled pistachios, chopped
  • 8 oz white chocolate, chopped Use high-quality for better flavor.

  5. Transfer the mixture to a container, cover, and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
  6. Using a small scoop or your hands, take portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls.
  7. For an elegant touch, lightly dust the truffles with powdered sugar before serving.
  8. Store the truffles in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Notes

To ensure your truffles are delightful, use high-quality white chocolate and consider experimenting with flavor twists, such as almond extract. For visual appeal, reserve some chopped pistachios to roll the truffles before chilling.
