This ultra-creamy Eggnog Truffles recipe is made with lots of eggnog and requires just 5 ingredients and 15 minutes prep time.

Eggnog Truffles

Just 17 days left until Santa is coming.

Hi, my friend! How are you doing so far? Are you totally in Christmas mood? Did you already decorate the whole house singing and dancing?

Today we head into recipe No.6 of our 2017s Christmas baking journey. How many recipes did you already make? Is your house smelling like cinnamon, sugar, chocolate, rum, eggnog, gingerbread? If not then make sure that you are well prepared and armed with the best of the best Christmas recipes for your holidays asap.

Click here to see my favorite Christmas baking recipes. All recipes are easy to make, and a must-have for Christmas.

Eggnog TrufflesOk, let's dive into today's recipe. Imagine creamy and spiked truffles made with real eggnog. ¾ cup of eggnog and 3 tablespoon of rum. And 2 vanilla beans. Oh. My. We get a load of flavor today.

I figured out how to add as much of it as possible but with being firm enough to dip them in chocolate in the end. As I said, I added ¾ cup of this creamy punch. I think you can imagine how creamy they are...

The white chocolate and the butter give them a nice texture. The white chocolate is not dominating the taste.

I froze mine for about 15 minutes and scooped them with an ice cream scoop. I leveled the back of the scoops by pushing in the back of the truffles after scooping. Then place them on parchment paper and freeze them for 1 hour until really firm.

To make sure that they don't melt away why dipping in chocolate, melt chocolate at the time when you put the truffles in the freezer and let it cool to almost room temperature.

This truffles recipe requires just 5 ingredients and 15 minutes of prep time.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup butter (226g)
  • 1 ½ cups white chocolate melted (9.3 oz / 262g)
  • ¾ cup eggnog (180ml)
  • 3 tablespoon rum
  • 2 vanilla beans* (or 2 teaspoon vanilla extract)
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg

Coating

  • 2 â…“ cups white chocolate melted (14.1 oz / 400g)

Instructions

  • With a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment beat butter on medium speed until soft for about 1-2 minutes. Add melted chocolate and mix until creamy for about 1 minute. Add eggnog and mix on low speed just until combined. Add rum, vanilla*, and nutmeg and mix until well combined and smooth. Chill for about 15 minutes in the freezer until firm enough to scoop with an ice cream scoop. Level the back of the scoops with your hand by pushing slightly against it (watch also video above). Place scoops on a parchment paper layered sheet. Freeze for about 1 hour.  
  • Dip truffles in melted chocolate and let dry in the fridge for about 10-15 minutes. Sprinkle with nutmeg or cinnamon before serving if desired. Store leftovers in the refrigerator up to 2 weeks. 

Notes

*First, cut off the straight end of the vanilla bean. Then place the tip of your sharp knife below the curled end and cut the vanilla bean through the middle of the bean lengthwise. Although you don't need to cut it all the way through, it's ok when you do so. Then open the vanilla bean and scrape out the flavorful seeds with the back of your knife. Just use the seeds.

    Not sure what happened as we followed your recipe and steps exactly except for adding rum—when I added the eggnog, it looks like the batch curdled and is in little bumps! Everything was fresh. Any insight there?

      It's normal that it looks curdled when you add the eggnog and is nothing to worry about. You can see in the video that mine looks the same in the beginning. Just keep mixing and it will come together. Hope that helps!

    No where in the written recipe does it list nutmeg, but then in the video you add 1/4 t. I'm confused

    I know you coated the top with some ground nutmeg, but have you tried to add additional nutmeg inside? These sound super vanilla flavored, so I was just curious since I LOVE nutmeg!

      Yes, I love the taste of super vanilla flavored eggnog. But you could add just 1 vanilla bean (or skip it completely) and add 1/4 tsp nutmeg to the truffles. Then the nutmeg taste is more present. Happy holidays!

    Can rum extract replace the rum?

    Could you use candiquik or do you need to use real white chocolate?

      You could use candiquik for the coating. For the filling, I recommend using real white chocolate because of the consistency.
