Eggnog Fudge

By Kate Morgan Jackson

Jump to Recipe

This easy recipe for eggnog fudge is the perfect sweet treat for the holidays, and also makes a perfect last minute gift for that special someone!

Eggnog Fudge
I haven’t yet gotten around to making the eggnog french toast I have been dreaming about, but I did want to get you this eggnog fudge before the holidays had come and gone, and here it, just in the Saint Nick of time. (See what I did there?)  

I do love my peppermint fudge at the holidays, but there is something about eggnog fudge that is even more holiday-festive even then peppermint.  Let’s make it!

This is a quick and easy fudge that is made mainly out of white chocolate (I used Ghiradelli), marshmallow creme fluff and, of course, eggnog.

Those brown flecks are fresh ground nutmeg, which always makes things smell like everything is right with the world. It comes together in a snap, and if you chill it in the fridge it will be ready super-fast.

By the way, I wanted to point out that plate the fudge is sitting on. That is one of my Twelve Days of Christmas plates, and I LOVE them. They are a Christmas Dessert Tradition in my house. I don’t think they make this particular variety anymore, but I did spot some that were very merry here.   

In the meantime, here’s some great eggnog fudge for you. Happy Merry!

Description

This easy recipe for eggnog fudge is the perfect sweet treat for the holidays, and also makes a perfect last minute gift for that special someone.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 3/4 cup eggnog
  • 10.5 ounces white chocolate bars, chopped into small pieces (I like Ghirardelli!)
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg, plus a little more for the top of the fudge
  • One 7 ounce jar marshmallow creme
  • 1 teaspoon rum extract

Instructions

  1. Line an 8 or 9-inch square pan with nonstick foil, leaving some extra coming over the sides to make it easier to lift out.
  2. Put sugar, butter and eggnog in a large heavy pot over medium high heat and bring to a boil, stirring the whole time.
  3. Boil for 10 minutes over medium heat or until a candy thermometer reaches 234°F, stirring constantly.
  4. Move the pot to a cool burner and quickly stir in the chocolate until it is fully melted. Stir in the nutmeg followed by the marshmallow creme and rum extract.
  5. Stir it all together until it is well combined and then pour it into the foil-lined pan. Sprinkle a little more nutmeg on top and let it cool completely. (This is the hardest part.)
  6. Cut into squares and feel very merry!

    This is really good fudge and my neighbors like it. It's pretty and tastes like solidfied eggnog better than it sounds).

    There's actually a strange story about this one. So the recipe called for rum extract and before I got up the gall to make this for the first time, I always saw it everywhere. So when I decided to make it, suddenly all the rum extract was just gone. I found out that most supermarkets like Wally-world only keep 4 or 5 of the things in stock all year round because of supply and demand. So I was about to give up when I wandered in a Mexican supermarket and lo and behold it was there. Guess that goes to show you that things are always in the last place you look…but then again, if you find things in the first place you look does that make it the last place you looked? Oh well.

    Could this be made with real rum instead of extract?

        I’ve never tried it that way…I think rum extract has a more intense flavoring than actual rum, so I would stick with the extract.

    I think it totally could. The run taste might not be as concentrated as with the extract, but it will still work as a substitute ingredient – just don't change the amount.

    I made these for Christmas, and they are very good. I used real rum instead of the extract which added that special something. The fudge was very creamy but was almost crumbly and tended to fall apart. Since I haven't made fudge of any sort in living memory, I am not able to determine why this happened.

      You should try a candy thermometer, not that expensive. You have to stir it while it boils over medium heat to a temp of 325 F. That way all the sugar has a chance to melt. Then you take it off and stir until its smooth with no grains of sugar or chunks of white choc.

        Sorry, I meant 234. 325 would be a dangerous disaster. Sorry.

          Thanks Dean – a candy thermometer is indeed a terrific idea. Happy holidays!

    Definitely an interesting and unique recipe! The flavor is good, but people who are considering making this should know that it is VERY VERY rich and sweet (even for fudge). I brought it to a few holiday parties, and while people generally seemed to think it tasted fine, several people also commented on how very sweet it was and I noticed that nobody took more than one piece. Since the recipe makes several pieces of fudge, I'd suggest making this for a large gathering where there will be several dessert options available.

    What is the shelf life for this Fudge? Also, does it need to be refrigerated because of the egg nog?

      You know, mine never lasts that long, but I always think it is a good idea to put fudge in the fridge. And I think you should be good with it for at least a week. :)
