Ingredients
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 10 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 1/3 cup dried cranberries, finely chopped
- 1 cup California walnuts, toasted and finely chopped
Instructions
- In a small pot, bring the cream to a boil just around the edges. Add the chocolate and whisk until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth. Stir in the cranberries.
- Transfer the chocolate mixture to a pie pan or 9 inch pan. Refrigerate until firm, 1 to 2 hours.
- Using a teaspoon scoop the truffles. Return to the refrigerator and let firm up again, about 30 minutes.

- Refrigerate until ready to serve.
