Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by finely chopping the dried cranberries and pistachios, ensuring they are small enough to evenly distribute throughout the truffles. This will take about 5–10 minutes. Prepare a clean work surface and ensure all ingredients are at room temperature to help the melting chocolate blend smoothly.
- In a double boiler, combine the high-quality white chocolate, heavy cream, and butter. Heat over medium-low for about 5–7 minutes, stirring constantly until the mixture is completely melted and smooth. The chocolate should be shiny and thick.
- Once your chocolate mixture is silky and smooth, remove it from the heat. Stir in the finely chopped cranberries and pistachios, making sure they are well combined.
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl and cover it with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for about 3 hours, or until firm to the touch.
- Once the mixture is firm, take a small scoop and roll portions between your palms to create bite-sized balls, each about 1 inch in diameter.
- Roll each truffle in powdered sugar and place the coated truffles on a parchment-lined tray to set at room temperature before serving or storing.

Notes
Use high-quality white chocolate for the best flavor; allow mixture to chill for at least 3 hours. Optionally add a splash of orange zest or vanilla extract for flavor variations.
