Eggnog Fudge Creamy Holiday (Printable Version)

Creamy eggnog and white chocolate fudge spiced with nutmeg and cinnamon, chilled and cut 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

# Directions:

01 - Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
02 - In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add unsalted butter, eggnog, and granulated sugar. Stir frequently until the mixture reaches a gentle boil.
03 - Reduce heat to low and simmer the mixture for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
04 - Remove saucepan from heat. Add white chocolate chips, ground nutmeg, ground cinnamon, and pure vanilla extract. Stir until chocolate is fully melted and mixture is smooth.
05 - Immediately pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan. Smooth the top evenly with a spatula.
06 - Sprinkle freshly grated nutmeg evenly over the top, if desired.
07 - Allow to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm.
08 - Lift the fudge out using the parchment overhang and cut into 36 squares with a sharp knife.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The silky white chocolate base hides a gentle, creamy eggnog flavor that feels like a secret handshake for dessert lovers.
  • The fudge firms up beautifully for gifting or snacking, but never loses that melt-in-your-mouth quality that turns skeptics into converts.
02 -
  • Once I tried rushing the chilling step, and ended up with a gooey mess—patience truly pays off with fudge.
  • Switching to freshly grated nutmeg for topping ramped up the aroma and made each bite even more special.
03 -
  • Keep your saucepan over gentle heat; overheating can scorch the sugar and muddy the flavor.
  • Resist the urge to add extra liquid—it might seem innocent but will prevent a proper set.
