Ingredients
- 2 cups White chocolate chips
- 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup Eggnog
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 1 cup Maraschino cherries, chopped and drained
- 1 tablespoon Maraschino cherry juice (optional, for color)
- 0.25 cup Powdered sugar
Directions
Step 1
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving excess paper hanging over the edges for easy removal later.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, eggnog, and butter over medium heat. Stir constantly until the butter is melted and the mixture is warmed through, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to low and add the white chocolate chips to the saucepan. Stir continuously until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from the heat and mix in the vanilla extract, ground nutmeg, and powdered sugar. Stir until well combined.
Step 5
Fold in the chopped and drained maraschino cherries. If desired, add the maraschino cherry juice for a slight pink tint and additional cherry flavor. Stir gently to incorporate, ensuring the cherries don’t break apart too much.
Step 6
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Step 7
Refrigerate the fudge for at least 3-4 hours, or until fully set.
Step 8
Once set, lift the fudge out of the dish using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into 16 squares or smaller pieces, depending on your preference.
Step 9
Serve chilled and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
