Eggnog White Fudge (Printable)
Decadent white chocolate fudge flavored with eggnog, nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla - chilled into festive squares.
# What You'll 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 (for topping)
# How to Make It:
01 - Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing an overhang for easy removal.
02 - In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add butter, eggnog, and granulated sugar. Stir frequently until the mixture reaches a gentle boil.
03 - Reduce heat to low and simmer for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring continuously to avoid scorching.
04 - Remove saucepan from heat. Add white chocolate chips, ground nutmeg, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Stir until the chocolate is fully melted and mixture is smooth.
05 - Immediately pour the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the surface with a spatula. If using, sprinkle freshly grated nutmeg evenly over the top.
06 - Allow to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours until fully set.
07 - Using the parchment overhang, lift the fudge from the pan. Slice into 36 even squares with a sharp knife.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- With every creamy bite, you’ll taste real eggnog and a perfect hint of nutmeg—it’s like holiday magic you can hold.
- This fudge comes together surprisingly fast, so you can bring something festive to any gathering without last-minute panic.
02 -
- I once tried rushing the cooling step and ended up with a gooey mess—patience is part of the magic here.
- Stirring in the chips all at once, off heat, prevents the fudge from becoming grainy or separating.
03 -
- Wipe your knife with a warm cloth between cuts for perfect, tidy squares every time.
- Even if the top looks bubbly after pouring, a gentle shake of the pan smooths things out beautifully.
