Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cups Sugar
- 1 cup Eggnog
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 10 ounces White chocolate chips
- 7 ounces Marshmallow creme
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
Instructions
Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan with butter or line it with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, sugar, eggnog, and ground nutmeg over medium heat. Stir continuously until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Bring the mixture to a boil and, using a candy thermometer, cook until it reaches 234°F (soft-ball stage). This should take about 8-10 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the white chocolate chips until fully melted and smooth.
Add the marshmallow creme and vanilla extract to the saucepan. Stir vigorously until everything is well combined and glossy.
Quickly pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly to smooth the top.
Sprinkle a pinch of extra ground nutmeg on top for garnish, if desired.
Let the fudge cool at room temperature for about 2 hours, or until firm enough to cut.
Once firm, remove the fudge from the pan using the parchment overhang and slice into 1-inch squares.
Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or refrigerate for longer storage.
