Eggnog Fudge (Printable)

Creamy white chocolate fudge flavored with eggnog, nutmeg and vanilla; 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, allowing an overhang for easy removal.
02 - In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine unsalted butter, eggnog, and granulated sugar. Stir frequently until the mixture begins to boil gently.
03 - Reduce heat to low and simmer for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent 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 the mixture is smooth.
05 - Transfer the fudge mixture into the prepared pan. Smooth the surface with a heatproof spatula.
06 - If desired, sprinkle the top evenly with freshly grated nutmeg.
07 - Allow the pan to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours until the fudge is fully set.
08 - Lift the fudge from the pan using the parchment overhang. Cut into 36 squares using a sharp knife.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • This fudge captures the best parts of eggnog—warmth, nostalgia, and just the right hint of spice—in every creamy bite.
  • I love how quick it comes together and how everyone thinks you spent hours crafting it.
02 -
  • If you rush and try to cut the fudge before it's fully chilled, it will stick horribly to your knife and look scraggly.
  • I once forgot to use parchment paper and spent ages prying fudge out with a spatula—don’t skip the lining step.
03 -
  • Don’t wander off during the simmering step—constant stirring is what keeps everything from scorching and guarantees shine.
  • A dash of sea salt on top, right before chilling, completely elevates the flavor.
