Fudge Ingredients
- 2 cups White Chocolate Chips (Use high-quality for best results)
- 1 can Sweetened Condensed Milk (Provides creaminess and sweetness)
- 1 cup Eggnog (Flavor base; substitute with heavy cream and extra nutmeg if necessary)
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter (Adds richness and smooth mouthfeel)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (Enhances flavor depth)
- 1 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg (Use fresh grated for enhanced flavor)
- 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon (Optional depending on preference)
- 1 pinch Salt (Balances sweetness)
Instructions
- Prepare Baking Dish: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang to make it easier to lift out the fudge once set.
- Heat Ingredients: In a medium saucepan over low-medium heat, combine white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, eggnog, and unsalted butter. Stir constantly for about 5-7 minutes until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and fully melted.
- Add Flavorings: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in vanilla extract, ground nutmeg, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly until all spices and flavors are fully incorporated.
- Pour and Spread: Pour the warm fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading evenly with a spatula. Optionally, sprinkle additional ground nutmeg over the top for extra aroma and presentation.
- Chill: Place the dish in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the fudge to set firmly.
- Serve: Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge from the dish. Cut into squares and enjoy your creamy eggnog fudge!
Notes
- Use fresh grated nutmeg for the best flavor impact.
- You can substitute eggnog with heavy cream plus extra nutmeg if desired.
- Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
- Allow fudge to come to room temperature briefly before serving for a softer texture.
- Use high-quality white chocolate chips for a smoother, richer fudge.
