This Eggnog Fudge recipe is a creamy, smooth, and festive holiday treat made with white chocolate, marshmallow cream, and full-fat eggnog, offering a nostalgic taste of Christmas in every bite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz white chocolate, chopped (not chocolate chips)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup full-fat eggnog
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 tsp rum extract
  • 7 oz jar marshmallow cream

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8 inch square pan with parchment paper.
  2. Place the chopped white chocolate in a large mixing bowl.
  3. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter, sugar, and eggnog over medium heat, stirring constantly.
  4. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil and continue cooking until it reaches 234°F (soft ball stage), about 8–10 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  6. Pour the hot mixture over the white chocolate and stir until melted and smooth.
  7. Beat in the nutmeg, rum extract, and marshmallow cream until fully combined.
  8. Pour the fudge into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until fully set.
  10. Cut into squares and serve or store as desired.

Notes

  • Use full-fat store-bought eggnog; reduced fat or homemade may not set properly.
  • Don’t substitute margarine for butter—it won’t set the same.
  • Use high-quality white chocolate instead of chips for smooth texture.
  • To test without a thermometer, use the soft ball method in ice water.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months.
