Cranberry Orange White Chocolate Sauce

A delightful sauce combining cranberries, orange zest, and white chocolate, perfect for drizzling over desserts or breakfast dishes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries, chopped or pulsed
  • 2/3 cup water
  • Zest of 1/2 an orange
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate bar or chips
  • 1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, combine dried cranberries, water, orange zest, ginger, cinnamon, and salt. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat and cook for about 5 to 7 minutes, until the cranberries soften and the mixture turns a rich reddish color.
  2. Pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a heatproof bowl, pressing to extract as much liquid as possible. Set the cranberry solids aside.
  3. Return the cranberry concentrate to the saucepan. Add white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and maple syrup. Heat on low, whisking constantly, just until the chocolate melts and the mixture looks smooth.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and lemon juice. Stir to combine, then let the sauce cool for 10 to 15 minutes before transferring it to a glass jar or squeeze bottle.

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze in ice cube trays for up to 3 months.
