Got leftover cranberries? Yeah, me too. After cooking the entire Thanksgiving meal, I’ve got more leftovers and produce in my fridge than I ever thought possible. Luckily, Kathleen King to the rescue again with another recipe from Baking for Friends. I halved her small recipe for pear cranberry crisp studded with chocolate chips to come up with a dessert for two version. I swapped white chocolate chips for the semisweet and gobbled up this sweet crispy bowl of deliciousness.
Cranberries and white chocolate were meant for each other. Stay tuned on that combo, my friends.
I hope you entered my giveaway (don’t worry, there’s still time to enter ’til next Monday). But but but, I have another treat for you!

Such a lovely idea to use pear – I’ve seen a lot of apple and cranberry recipes recently but this sounds so interesting (especially with the addition of the white chocolate chips!).
Pear and cranberries sound wonderful and this looks wonderful!
What a gorgeous, seasonal dessert!
I love fruity crisps and strangely enough, my manly boyfriend prefers fruit crisps and crumbles over heavy chocolate/creamy treats, so this is definitely a recipe we would both enjoy! I’ve never made a baked treat using cranberries, so I’m excited to try this!!
I literally have every.single.ingredient – that means it’s meant to be, right?
I didn’t make cranberries for Thanksgiving this year, Christina, because there’s only two of us and I didn’t want a bunch of leftovers. Silly me. Now I know what to do with them, thanks!
Stressful day at work, so you know what? This is going in my oven RIGHT NOW. And I’m going to eat it ALL and call it a dessert for one. Because I can and because I think you’d encourage me to do so. :-)
this looks lovely my friend, love cranberries this time of year.
We love pears and cranberries–such as nice complement–but we’ve never added white chocolate to the mix. We look forward to trying this! What beautiful photos, btw. : )
Cranberry and white chocolate is one of the best combos ever! Love these little crisps. So cute. :)
this looks delicious! I love how vibrant the cranberries are in the dish!
I love cranberries and white chocolate! I can only imagine how good that combination would be with pears in a crisp!
Lady, I was going to make cranberry sauce with the little bit of totally expensive cranberries I have. You just ruined my plans!
btw, I’m so going to add coconut flakes in mine.
I made these for breakfast and they were wonderful. Now I need more.
Ok, where I have I been? I’ve never really thought to make a crisp out of cranberries…AND add white chocolate. I think it’s brilliant. Love it, Christina!
