Love cranberries? Try this No Bake White Chocolate Cranberry Cheesecake, these Cranberry Bliss Bars or this Orange Cranberry Bread next! White chocolate and cranberry just scream “Christmas” to me. And around the week before Halloween, I start thinking about Christmas. I know, you probably think that’s ridiculous, but I just love everything about Christmas and the months leading up to it. The snow (I’ll take the snow and leave the cold!), the long evenings, the lights, and how much more enjoyable cooking and baking is when it’s absolutely frigid outside. The way people gather to enjoy all of these things (although not as much this year). Shopping and picking out gifts for loved ones. Seeing how my toddler’s face lights up over a tube of Lipsmackers or a new pair of socks. But now that we’re getting closer to December, it’s finally acceptable for me to share with you all of the Christmas treats I’ve been dreaming up (and devouring!) lately. These cupcakes are totally indulgent. They are perfect for making and sharing, as the recipe produces quite a few. And since they’re individually portioned, you can feel better about indulging right? Even if you happen to have 2.. or 3… individual portions. Also, they freeze perfectly, so feel free to make a batch and stash them in the freezer, even if you don’t have a crowd to feed this holiday season. No one’s judging here.
Variations on these Cranberry Vanilla Cupcakes:
Not into frosting? Feel free to serve with whipped cream or whipped white chocolate ganache if you’re feeling fancy (no recipe here, just find a recipe for whipped ganache and use white chocolate) Swap the cranberries for another berry you love Swap the vanilla cupcakes for chocolate if you’re digging that dark chocolate and tangy cranberry vibe
