Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams white chocolate
- 100 ml heavy cream
- 20 grams unsalted butter
- 50 grams dried cranberries
- 50 grams chopped pistachios
- 50 grams chopped almonds
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
Chop the white chocolate into small, even pieces and place them in a heatproof bowl.
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium-low heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not let it boil.
Pour the hot cream over the chopped white chocolate and let it sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt.
Gently stir the mixture with a spatula until smooth and glossy. Add the unsalted butter and vanilla extract, and continue mixing until fully incorporated.
Fold in the dried cranberries, chopped pistachios, and chopped almonds, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2-3 hours, or until the truffle mixture is firm enough to handle.
Once the mixture is set, use a teaspoon or small cookie scoop to portion out bite-sized amounts. Roll each portion into a ball with your hands.
Lightly dust your hands with powdered sugar if the mixture becomes too sticky while rolling.
Optional: Roll the truffles in additional chopped nuts or powdered sugar for decoration.
Place the finished truffles on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving.
Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Bring to room temperature before serving.
