Not everyone loves the tradition of Christmas Mince Pies so if you’re looking for something a little festive but different, then this recipe is an ideal treat.
The combination of fresh cranberries and white chocolate are delicious, with the cranberries providing a nice pop of sourness against the sweetness of the chocolate. You can also use dried cranberries if you like, maybe adding in some lemon zest for sharpness.
I made these as mini-muffins and got approx 24 portions but you could also make them in regular cupcake size tins, just baking for a little longer. I used a silicon muffin tin so I didn’t need to use muffin papers. If you use a metal tin, then try small muffin papers or foil cases in festive colours.
