How to Make Eggnog Fudge
Step 1: Prep Your Pan
Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
Step 2: Melt the Base
In a medium saucepan, combine white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, eggnog, and butter. Heat over low-medium heat, stirring constantly, until smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Add the Flavors
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in vanilla extract, nutmeg, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until fully combined.
Step 4: Pour and Chill
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle extra nutmeg on top for garnish. Chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Step 5: Slice and Serve
Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper and cut into squares. Serve and enjoy!
Leftovers & Storage
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
- Freeze for longer storage—just wrap each square in wax paper and store in a freezer bag for up to 3 months.
