Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups White chocolate chips
- 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup Eggnog
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 1 cup Maraschino cherries, chopped and drained
- 1 tablespoon Maraschino cherry juice (optional, for color)
- 0.25 cup Powdered sugar
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving excess paper hanging over the edges for easy removal later.
In a medium saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, eggnog, and butter over medium heat. Stir constantly until the butter is melted and the mixture is warmed through, about 3-4 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and add the white chocolate chips to the saucepan. Stir continuously until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and mix in the vanilla extract, ground nutmeg, and powdered sugar. Stir until well combined.
Fold in the chopped and drained maraschino cherries. If desired, add the maraschino cherry juice for a slight pink tint and additional cherry flavor. Stir gently to incorporate, ensuring the cherries don’t break apart too much.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Refrigerate the fudge for at least 3-4 hours, or until fully set.
Once set, lift the fudge out of the dish using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into 16 squares or smaller pieces, depending on your preference.
Serve chilled and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
