Eggnog Fudge
Get excited about this eggnog fudge! There are basically two schools of thought behind homemade fudge – sweetened condensed milk or cooking the sugar, cream, and butter. This recipe goes the second route because it allows us to directly substitute in eggnog for the cream so that you maintain the right ratio of ingredients that allow the fudge to set.
Another important part of this recipe is that you refrigerate the fudge until it is fully set. If you start cutting it before it is set, it will still be kind of squishy and it won’t cut nicely. Don’t be impatient! It will just look a whole lot nicer if you just wait about 3-4 hours until the fudge sets before digging into it.
