Servings: 64
Calories: 57kcal
Ingredients
- 3 cups chopped white chocolate, from four 4-ounce baking bars (Ghirardelli brand)
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon rum extract
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, plus additional sprinkle for garnish
Instructions
- Line a straight sided, 8x8 inch pan with parchment paper. Allow enough paper to overhang the sides of the pan to easily lift the fudge out for slicing.
- To a large microwave safe bowl add the chopped white chocolate, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter. Microwave on high for 1 minute, stir then heat in 30 second increments (stirring between each heat burst) until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Stir in the vanilla extract, rum extract, and ground nutmeg until fully incorporated.
- Transfer to the prepared pan and spread to an even layer. Tap the pan on the counter 1-2 times to release any air bubbles in the fudge mixture.
- Garnish the top with a light sprinkle of additional ground nutmeg if desired then refrigerate for 2 hours (up to overnight) or until fully set.
- Once fully set, lift the fudge from the pan using the overhanging parchment paper. Slice into 1x1 inch pieces and serve at room temperature.
Notes
- It is best to use a high quality white chocolate baking bar (such as Ghirardelli or Lindt brands) for the best flavor and texture of fudge.
- The combination of vanilla, rum extract and nutmeg give this fudge a wonderful eggnog flavor profile. For more intense eggnog flavor, you can substitute the vanilla and rum extracts for an eggnog flavoring. You will want to start with ½ teaspoon eggnog flavoring and increase as desired.
- Do not substitute the sweetened condensed milk for any other types of canned or fresh milk. It will alter the final results of the fudge.
- For larger serving size, you can cut the fudge into 16 (2x2 inch) pieces.
