Eggnog Fudge (Printable Version)

Festive white fudge flavored with eggnog, nutmeg and vanilla; chilled and cut into bite-sized holiday squares.

# What You Need:

→ Fudge Base

01 - 3 cups white chocolate chips
02 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter
03 - 1/2 cup eggnog
04 - 2 cups granulated sugar
05 - 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
06 - 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
07 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

→ Optional Garnish

08 - 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

# How To Make It:

01 - Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring the edges overhang for easy removal.
02 - In a medium saucepan set over medium heat, combine unsalted butter, eggnog, and granulated sugar. Stir frequently until the mixture begins to gently boil.
03 - Reduce the heat to low and allow the mixture to simmer, stirring constantly, for 4 to 5 minutes.
04 - Remove the saucepan from heat. Add white chocolate chips, ground nutmeg, ground cinnamon, and pure vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.
05 - Immediately pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan and smooth the surface with a spatula.
06 - If desired, sprinkle the surface evenly with freshly grated nutmeg.
07 - Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes. Transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or until completely set.
08 - Using the parchment overhang, lift the set fudge out of the pan. Slice with a sharp knife into 36 equal squares.

# Helpful Hints:

01 -
  • This fudge brings the unmistakable comfort of eggnog into bite-sized treats youll want to share with everyone.
  • Its quick to make, but tastes like you spent all day fussing over something special.
02 -
  • Rushing the simmering step makes the fudge gritty—a mistake I’ll never make again.
  • Stirring in the white chocolate after removing from the heat keeps it perfectly silky instead of seizing up.
03 -
  • Stir constantly while the mixture simmers to prevent sugary crystals and ensure a smooth result.
  • Freshly grated nutmeg on top adds an aroma that no ground spice jar can match.
