Ganache:
Place the white chocolate in a heat-proof bowl.
Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. DO NOT let it boil.
Pour the hot cream over the white chocolate; let it sit for 2-3 minutes to melt the chocolate; stir until smooth.
Stir in the vanilla extract, chopped cranberries, and chopped pistachios until evenly distributed.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the ganache is firm enough to scoop.
Form the Truffles:
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, scoop out small amounts of the ganache; roll them into balls between your hands.
If desired, roll the truffles in more chopped pistachios and cranberries or powdered sugar for added texture and flavor. Place the truffles back on the prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm up.
Serve.
