Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- ¾ cup eggnog
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 12 ounces white baker’s chocolate (not chocolate chips)
- 2 cups marshmallow crème
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg (divided)
Instructions
- Prepare the baking dish: Line an 8” x 8” baking dish with parchment paper and lightly spray it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Cook the sugar mixture: In a heavy saucepan, combine the unsalted butter, eggnog, and granulated sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Continue boiling and stirring until the mixture reaches 234°F on a candy thermometer, approximately 10 minutes.
- Add white chocolate: Remove the pan from heat immediately and stir in the white baker’s chocolate until fully melted and smooth.
- Incorporate marshmallow crème: Stir in the marshmallow crème until it is completely combined with the chocolate mixture.
- Flavor the fudge: Mix in the vanilla extract and half a teaspoon of ground nutmeg, reserving the remaining nutmeg for topping.
- Set the fudge: Pour and spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining ½ teaspoon of nutmeg over the top for an aromatic finish.
- Chill: Refrigerate the fudge for at least 4 hours until it is firm before cutting into squares to serve.
Notes
- Use a candy thermometer to ensure the sugar mixture reaches the correct temperature for perfect fudge texture.
- Do not substitute white baker’s chocolate with white chocolate chips as baker’s chocolate melts more smoothly for fudge.
- For a stronger eggnog flavor, consider adding a splash of rum or rum extract if desired.
- Store leftover fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Allow fudge to come to room temperature for a few minutes before serving for softer texture.
