These eggnog latte truffles are the perfect Christmas truffles to add to your holiday baking this year. Creamy, simple, and packed with the flavor of the perfect holiday red cup drink!

There are two kinds of people in the world: people who cannot wait until eggnog hits the shelves and people who grimace at the mere thought of the sweet holiday drink. I live in a divided house.

Every year I look forward to those magical red cups coming out signaling eggnog lattes are here! 

Eggnog Latte Truffle Inspiration

When it comes to simple holiday treats, it’s hard to go wrong with a truffle. it’s pretty hard to mess them up to a point where you wouldn’t want to eat them, but they still impress and pack a punch of festive flavor.

That’s what I was going with when I created these eggnog latte truffles. They’re super creamy and decadent on the inside with a flavor identical to my favorite holiday drink.

If you’re a fan of eggnog lattes and looking for a fun and unique addition to your holiday baking list, this is the perfect choice!

My family loves this recipe and I hope your family does as well. I use this instant espresso to make them. Use the leftovers to add to chocolate cookies or cakes and richen the flavor.

We dip our truffles in white melting chocolate, but dark chocolate would be great as well.

Finally, don’t forget a topping of sprinkles! I love these holly style ones.

If you enjoy this recipe, please remember to vote 5 stars! It helps others find it, and makes my day!

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup eggnog
  • 2 cups white chocolate (about 1 bag)
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 tsp instant espresso (or 1 single serve packet)
  • candy coating or white chocolate
  • sprinkles, nutmeg, chocolate as topping

Instructions

  1. In a small pot, warm the eggnog on low before adding in the coffee and dissolving. Once dissolved, add in the white chocolate, nutmeg, and butter and reduce to the lowest setting.
  2. Stir constantly until just melted and smooth before transferring to a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until completely cooled and solid, at least 2 hours.
  3. Once cooled, scoop into tablespoon sized balls and roll. Once all of your truffles are rolled, return to the freezer while melting your shell.
  4. Coat your truffles one by one in the chocolate or candy coating and place onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. While still wet, tip with sprinkles. Alternately, you can add a dash of nutmeg or drizzle some leftover white chocolate on top.

Recipe Notes

These freeze well and will keep in the fridge for a couple of weeks – I’m not sure how long because they were gone way quicker than that. Using a tablespoon, I got about 18, but feel free to make smaller ones (maybe 1/2 tablespoon) as they are pretty decadent. I used white candy coating since I find it the easiest to work with, but feel free to use high-quality white chocolate. If you’d like to omit completely, I would recommend mixing about 1 cup of powdered sugar with 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg and coating your truffles in that mixture.

So tell me – what’s your favorite holiday drink? Eggnog: yay or nay? Let me know in the comments!

    WOW. They look so creamy, and it’s so interesting that there is such a divided camp over eggnog. My family all loves it, so I think they would love these.

    Coming to you from Wine’d down Wednesday. The truffles look yummy. I’m quite the eggnog fan and love an eggnog latte. I used eggnog this morning with my Kodiak pancake mix, added bananas and blueberries…DELICIOUS!

    Can you tell me how much is in a packet of instant coffee? I buy it by the jar 🙂

      Hi Lori! 1 packet is 1 8 oz serving, so to keep the same strength I’d use the equivalent of that!

    Hi I was wondering if there was a way to use less white chocolate in balls themselves? Just to cut the sweetness. Could I also add rum to these?

      I’ve never tried it, but probably! I’d try using a bit of butter or something similar. You may need to refrigerate more.

      As for rum, I bet that would be delicious. I vote for using the rum to rehydrate the instant espresso!
