Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Eggnog
- 2 cups White sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 2 cups White chocolate chips
- 1 cup Mini marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- Ground cinnamon (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper or aluminum foil, leaving a slight overhang for easy removal later.
In a medium saucepan, combine the eggnog, white sugar, and unsalted butter. Place the pan over medium heat and stir to combine the ingredients.
Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Allow it to cook for about 8–10 minutes, or until it reaches 234°F (soft-ball stage) on a candy thermometer.
Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the white chocolate chips and mini marshmallows until fully melted and smooth.
Stir in the pure vanilla extract and ground nutmeg, mixing until everything is well incorporated.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
If desired, lightly sprinkle ground cinnamon over the top as a garnish for added flavor and festive flair.
Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for about 1 hour, then transfer it to the refrigerator to firm up for at least 2–3 hours or overnight.
Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut it into 16 squares or desired portions.
Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
