Some of the best recipes come from accidents, don’t they? This one? Oh, it’s the classic “oops” moment turned masterpiece. Picture this: it’s a snowy December evening, and the kitchen smells like butter and chocolate. You’re knee-deep in your yearly holiday baking extravaganza when—horror of horrors—you realize you’re out of sugar-laden ingredients for your go-to cookies.
Frantically rifling through your pantry, you spot a bag of sugar-free white chocolate chips you bought “just to try,” a jar of pistachios left over from a charcuterie board experiment, and a tiny bag of unsweetened dried cranberries from your last ambitious trail mix attempt. A lightbulb goes off. What if… instead of cookies… you made something creamy, festive, and bite-sized?

Step-by-Step Instructions
- Melt the White Chocolate Base
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the sugar-free white chocolate chips, unsalted butter, and heavy cream.
Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Be careful not to overheat. - Mix in the Dry Ingredients
Add the almond flour, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the melted chocolate mixture.

Fold in the chopped cranberries and pistachios. Reserve a small portion of both for garnish, if desired. - Chill the Mixture
Transfer the mixture to the refrigerator and chill for about 30 minutes, or until firm enough to handle. - Roll into Truffles
Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into 1-inch balls.
