Description

Dark Chocolate Eggnog Truffles are a rich, creamy holiday dessert with a smooth eggnog-inspired center and a crisp dark chocolate shell. This easy recipe is perfect for Christmas dessert boards, homemade candy trays, holiday food ideas, and festive party treats when you want an elegant no-bake dessert that feels special without being difficult to make.


Ingredients

8 oz white chocolate, chopped

1/4 cup eggnog

2 tbsp unsalted butter

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

1 pinch salt

1/4 cup crushed graham crackers or vanilla wafer crumbs

10 oz dark chocolate, chopped

1 tsp coconut oil or shortening

2 tbsp extra graham cracker crumbs or melted white chocolate for garnish


Instructions

1. Melt the white chocolate and butter together in a microwave-safe bowl using short intervals, stirring until smooth.

2. Stir in the eggnog, vanilla extract, nutmeg, salt, and crushed graham cracker crumbs until the mixture is creamy and fully combined.

3. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours, or until firm enough to scoop.

4. Scoop small portions and roll them into balls, then place them on a parchment-lined tray.

5. Freeze or chill the rolled truffles for 15 to 20 minutes so they stay firm for dipping.

6. Melt the dark chocolate with the coconut oil until smooth and glossy.

7. Dip each truffle into the melted dark chocolate, let the excess drip off, and place back on the tray.

8. Garnish with extra crumbs or a drizzle of melted white chocolate before the coating sets.

9. Chill briefly until the chocolate shell is firm, then serve or store.

Notes

Use full-fat eggnog for the richest flavor and creamiest texture.

Keep the centers cold while dipping so the truffles hold their shape better.

A light sprinkle of nutmeg on top gives them an extra festive finish.
