# The Ingredients You'll Need:
→ Base
01 -
12 oz white chocolate chips
02 -
1 jar marshmallow fluff
03 -
1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
04 -
3/4 cup full-fat eggnog
05 -
1/2 cup unsalted butter
→ Flavorings
06 -
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
07 -
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 -
Line a square pan with foil and grease it to prevent sticking.
02 -
In a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine butter, sugar, and eggnog. Stir often and bring to a boil until the mixture reaches exactly 234°F using a candy thermometer.
03 -
Remove from heat and stir in white chocolate chips until fully melted and smooth.
04 -
Quickly mix in marshmallow fluff, vanilla extract, and ground nutmeg until thick and evenly blended.
05 -
Pour mixture into the prepared pan, smooth the top, and optionally sprinkle additional nutmeg. Let cool at room temperature until firm.
06 -
Lift out the fudge using the foil, cut into approximately 36 squares, and serve.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Use real white chocolate containing cocoa butter for optimal texture; do not substitute candy melts. Marshmallow fluff is essential for smooth consistency and should not be replaced unless necessary.
02 -
If using bar white chocolate, chop finely before melting to ensure smooth consistency.
03 -
Avoid stirring excessively during boiling to prevent grainy texture.
04 -
Eggnog can be substituted with 3/4 cup heavy cream mixed with 1/4 tsp nutmeg, 1/4 tsp cinnamon, and 1 tsp vanilla extract if needed.
05 -
Allow fudge to cool fully at room temperature before cutting to avoid crumbling.
