Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, cold
  • 9.3 oz white chocolate, melted and cooled
  • ¾ cup eggnog
  • 3 tablespoon rum
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg

Coating

  • 14.1 oz white chocolate, melted and cooled

Instructions

  • Using an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the butter on medium-high speed until soft and creamy, about 2 minutes. Add the melted chocolate and stir until creamy for about 1 minute. Add the eggnog and mix on low speed until combined. Add the rum, vanilla, and nutmeg and mix until well combined and smooth.
  • Chill in the freezer for about 15-30 minutes or until firm enough to spoon balls of the mixture with an ice cream scoop. Place the balls on a parchment paper layered sheet and freeze for about 1 hour or overnight.
  • Quickly dip the truffles in the melted chocolate to coat them completely and let them dry in the fridge for about 10-15 minutes. Sprinkle with nutmeg or cinnamon before serving, if you like. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
