Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Dreamy Eggnog Fudge
  1. Start by lining an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, letting the edges hang over for easy removal later.
  2. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 12 ounces of white chocolate with one can of sweetened condensed milk. Place it over medium heat, stirring constantly for about 5–7 minutes until fully melted and smooth.
  3. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of eggnog, 1 teaspoon of freshly grated nutmeg, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly for 1–2 minutes.
  4. Fold in 1 cup of chopped pecans into the fudge mixture, ensuring an even distribution.
  5. Carefully pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until firm.
  6. Once set, lift it out using the parchment paper and cut into square pieces.
