You can make this fudge as much as a week ahead of time! Put it in an airtight container in the fridge.
Instructions
1. Get your pan ready.
Put parchment paper in an 8×8-inch baking dish, making sure to leave some overhang so you can easily take it out.
2. Heat up the Base
Put the white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, eggnog, and butter in a medium-sized pot. Stirring constantly, heat over low to medium heat until smooth and creamy.
3. Add the flavors
Take the saucepan off the heat and stir in the vanilla extract, nutmeg, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until everything is well mixed.
4. Pour and cool
Use a spatula to spread the mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish. Add more nutmeg on top to make it look nice. Put it in the fridge for at least four hours or overnight.
5. Cut and Serve
After the fudge has set, use the parchment paper to lift it out of the pan and cut it into squares. Enjoy and serve!
Serving Suggestions & Storage Tips
- For the best taste and texture, use high-quality white chocolate chips. Cheap ones can get rough.
- Don’t let the mixture get too hot; keep it low and slow to keep it smooth and creamy.
- For a holiday look, sprinkle nutmeg on top of the fudge while it is still warm.
- If you want perfect, clean cuts, put the fudge in the fridge overnight.
- Let the kids sprinkle the nutmeg; they’ll feel like real chefs!
You can keep it in the fridge for up to a week if you put it in an airtight container. Wrap each square in wax paper and put them in a freezer bag to keep them for longer. They will stay good for up to three months.
