Directions:
1. Prepare the Truffle Filling:
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Add the eggnog, ground nutmeg, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract, mixing until combined. Gradually add the powdered sugar, stirring until a thick dough forms.
2. Chill and Shape the Truffles:
Place the mixture in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes to firm up slightly. Once chilled, scoop small amounts of the dough and roll into 1-inch balls. Place the truffle balls on a lined baking sheet and refrigerate for an additional 15 minutes.
3. Coat the Truffles:
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate or candy melts with the coconut oil, stirring until smooth. Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the coated truffles back on the lined baking sheet.
4. Garnish and Set:
While the coating is still wet, sprinkle a little ground nutmeg on top of each truffle for a festive touch. Let the truffles set at room temperature or refrigerate until the coating is firm.
5. Serve and Enjoy:
Arrange these eggnog truffles on a holiday platter and enjoy their creamy, spiced flavor with family and friends!
