White Chocolate Eggnog Fudge Recipe
One of my favorite things about the holidays is all of the baking and giving that is involved. Honestly, I hated eggnog until my youngest boy became obsessed with it. Then I slowly started to like it! Last year, I baked some of my all-time favorite cookies that were also made with eggnog! Safe to say Iโm a fan now. I feel like eggnog is amazing when you bake with it or incorporate it into a recipe. Itโs so creamy and tastes almost like a custard!
My husband hates eggnog. But I always make him try my recipes. The eggnog cookies also became his favorite last Christmas. He made me bake them for all of the neighbors. Like the cookies, this fudge turned out amazing. And when I had my husband take a bite, he said, WOW, this is actually really good! It is the perfect holiday fudge recipe. For another fun fudge, make my 4-Ingredient Churro Fudge.
What Youโll Need for Eggnog Fudge
Only 6 ingredients to make this tasty fudge! I love that I can pick these ingredients up without having to spend a fortune. Its simple ingredients make it perfect for making in large batches and giving to friends and family! If youโre looking for individual measurements, theyโre in the recipe card below.
- Eggnog: This is best made from scratch! It only takes a few simple ingredients and really amplifies the overall flavor of the eggnog fudge.
- Sugar: Granulated sugar melts down to add the perfect sweetness to the fudge!
- White Chocolate: I love white chocolate! Itโs so rich and milky. It matches perfectly with the flavor of eggnog.
- Butter: You can add salted or unsalted butter here. I like using salted to balance the sweetness of the fudge a little.
- Marshmallow Cream: Adds a tasty, fluffy texture and sweet flavor.
- Nutmeg: Youโve gotta have a little spice for the holidays! The warm, nutty flavor tastes great dusted on top.
Time to Make Fudge!
Eggnog fudge is one of the easiest desserts to make. Fudge, in general, is super simple and tastes so amazing! All you have to do is mix, melt, and cool! Youโll have to try my vanilla and peanut butter fudge recipes. Theyโre easy and delicious, too!
- Prep Your Pan: To begin, line a 9ร13 inch pan with aluminum foil and lightly sprinkle with cooking spray. Set aside.
- Boil Eggnog and Sugar: In a large pot over medium heat, combine eggnog and sugar. Bring to a boil stirring occasionally. Once it comes to a boil, stir constantly for 10 minutes.
- Mix in Remaining Ingredients: Remove from the heat and add in white chocolate chips, marshmallow cream, and butter. Stir until completely melted and incorporated.
- Pour and Cool: Pour into your foil lined 9ร13 pan and spread evenly until smooth. Sprinkle the top with nutmeg. Let completely cool to room temperature and store in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
Tips for Making Fudge
Fudge is pretty easy, but needs certain conditions to have the best consistency! Here are a few tips and tricks on making the tastiest fudge possible. Youโll be a pro!
- Only Use Butter: Itโs best to only use butter when making fudge. A substitute like margarine has too high of a water content and will keep your fudge from setting properly.
- Check Temperature With a Candy Thermometer: Youโll know your fudge mixture is ready to be poured into a pan when it reaches at least 234 degrees Fahrenheit. You can also test the mixture by putting a drop into cold water. If it turns into a hard ball, itโs ready!
- Adding Nuts: This eggnog fudge is perfect for adding chopped walnuts, pecans, or almonds to!
Storing Leftover Eggnog Fudge
If this creamy fudge ends up having leftovers, hereโs how to keep it fresh! Itโs the perfect treat to enjoy days after itโs made.
- In the Refrigerator: Keep your fudge wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or tin foil. You can also store it in an airtight container. It will stay good for up to 1 week.
- In the Freezer: Eggnog fudge will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap or put in an airtight container before storing.

Nutrition

How can I cut this recipe in half
To cut this in half, use ยพ cup eggnog, 2 cups sugar, 1 bag (12 ounces) white chocolate chips, ยฝ cup butter, and about half the jar of marshmallow cream (around 3.5 ounces). Pour it into an 8ร8 pan so it sets at the right thickness. Everything else in the instructions stays the same.
Can you use something else instead of foil?
Yes, you can use parchment paper or wax paper instead of foil.
Can you use alcohol eggnog in this?
Yes, but the alcohol may make the fudge a bit softer in texture. I havenโt tested it so Iโm not totally sure how soft it would end up, but it should work!
4 cups of sugar made it way to sweet. It was nasty
Just made this fudge today. Hope the eggnog flavor comes out a little more when itโs completely set because, although it smells like eggnog, I can only really taste the white chocolate. Itโs good fudge, just the lack of eggnog flavor is really disappointing. (I used fresh quality ingredients and followed the recipe to a T.)
This is simply a stunning recipe. I love this. Thanks for sharing.
