Ingredients
Fudge Base
- 1 1/2 cups eggnog
- 4 cups sugar
- 2 (12 ounces) packages white chocolate chips
- 1 cup butter, cut into pieces
- 1 (7 ounces) container marshmallow cream
Topping
- Nutmeg for sprinkling
Instructions
- Prepare Pan: Line a 9x13-inch pan with aluminum foil and lightly spray with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Set aside for later use.
- Cook Eggnog and Sugar: In a large pot over medium heat, combine the eggnog and sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar. Once boiling, continue to stir constantly for 10 minutes to thicken and develop the fudge base.
- Add Chocolate and Cream: Remove the pot from heat. Add the white chocolate chips, marshmallow cream, and butter. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are fully melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Pour and Set: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared foil-lined pan. Spread evenly with a spatula until smooth. Sprinkle the top lightly with nutmeg to add a warm, festive spice.
- Cool and Store: Allow the fudge to cool completely to room temperature. Once cool, cover and store in the refrigerator in an airtight container until ready to serve. Cut into pieces before serving.
Notes
- For best results, use full-fat eggnog for a richer fudge texture.
- Make sure to stir constantly during boiling to prevent the mixture from burning or sticking to the pan.
- You can substitute the nutmeg topping with cinnamon if preferred.
- Store fudge in the refrigerator to maintain its firmness and freshness.
- This fudge can be served at room temperature or chilled, depending on preference.
