The freezing steps are worth it for the delicious results you get with these truffles. They're better than drinking homemade eggnog. Ingredients:
8 (1-ounce) squares premium white chocolate (we tested with baker's) |
1/2 cup sifted powdered sugar |
1/4 cup butter, softened |
1/4 cup refrigerated eggnog |
2 tablespoons dark rum |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans, toasted |
6 ounces vanilla-flavored candy coating |
Directions:
1. Melt white chocolate in a glass bowl according to package directions. Add powdered sugar, butter, and eggnog; stir gently until mixture is smooth. Add rum and nutmeg, stirring just until blended. Cover and freeze at least 2 hours.
2. Let truffle mixture stand at room temperature 1 to 2 minutes to soften, if necessary. Using 2 small spoons, shape mixture into 1 balls. Quickly roll in pecans. Place on a wax paper-lined jellyroll pan; cover and freeze until firm.
3. Melt candy coating according to package directions. Remove truffles from freezer; reshape into balls, if necessary. Using two forks, quickly dip each truffle into melted coating. Place on wax paper to harden. Store truffles in freezer up to one week.
