Ingredients
340g white chocolate
1/4 cup eggnog
115g cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp vanilla extract
Flaky sea salt, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
1. In a medium bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth.
2. Add eggnog, vanilla extract, powdered sugar, and nutmeg. Mix until fully incorporated.
3. Melt white chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly.
4. Stir half of the melted white chocolate into the cream cheese mixture. Mix until smooth.
5. Cover and chill the filling for at least 1 hour until firm.
6. Scoop and roll the chilled mixture into small balls. Place on a parchment-lined tray and chill again for 15–30 minutes.
7. Dip each truffle in the remaining melted white chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Place back on the tray.
8. Garnish with a sprinkle of nutmeg and optional flaky sea salt while the coating is still wet.
9. Let truffles set at room temperature or refrigerate until the coating hardens.
Notes
Use high-quality white chocolate for smooth melting and rich flavor.
Freshly grated nutmeg adds a deeper spice note than pre-ground.
Freeze truffles in a single layer first before transferring to a container to avoid sticking.
