Ingredients for the Easy Eggnog Fudge

This fudge recipe uses just a handful of holiday pantry staples to create a delicious, melt-in-your-mouth treat.

White chocolate chips bring that smooth, rich base we love in fudge. They pair beautifully with the warm spices of eggnog.

Sweetened condensed milk is what gives the fudge its dense, creamy texture while keeping the process simple.

Eggnog is the star of the show, adding both holiday flavor and richness.

Butter enhances the silkiness of the fudge and adds an extra layer of indulgence.

Nutmeg provides that signature eggnog spice note that ties everything together.

Vanilla extract deepens the flavor and rounds out the sweetness.

How To Make the Easy Eggnog Fudge

Step 1: Prepare Your Pan

Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Lightly grease the sides if needed.

Step 2: Melt the Base

In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, butter, and eggnog. Stir constantly until everything melts and the mixture becomes smooth. Don’t rush this step; low and slow gives the best texture.

Step 3: Add the Flavor

Remove the pan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and nutmeg. Mix until fully incorporated.

Step 4: Pour and Set

Pour the fudge into the prepared pan and smooth out the top. Sprinkle a little extra nutmeg on top if desired. Let it cool at room temperature for a bit, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until firm.

Step 5: Slice and Enjoy

Once set, lift the fudge out using the parchment overhang and cut into squares. Store in an airtight container.

How to Serve and Store Easy Eggnog Fudge

This recipe makes about 36 small squares, perfect for a holiday platter, edible gift, or late-night snack. You can serve it chilled or at room temperature, though it holds its shape best when slightly cold.

To store, keep your fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. If layering, separate each layer with parchment paper. For longer storage, freeze it for up to two months and thaw in the fridge overnight before serving.
