Remember the fire red tree I posted about? The leaves are raked, the branches bare, the magic is gone. Now it's just a memory. Until next year.
But there is new magic coming. The magic of Christmas time. The red and green decorations are out, garlands found their place on the fireplace, and I am planning our Christmas dinner menu.
This time is also a time of baking. And lots of it! This year, even more than the last, my Girls are helping me with this task. Audrey is 5 and Vivienne is almost 3, so they can cut out the cookies, frost them and add some sprinkles. Last year they mostly watched me, but this year I could step away and watch them. 🙂
There are also the evenings when they go to sleep and dream about the cookies they just made, and the St. Nick that "came down the chimney with a bound". That's when my Husband and I sit in front of the fireplace and enjoy classic Christmas movies. Like "Wonderful Life".
As a baker, I wanted to make little treats we could enjoy. Eggnog truffles seemed like a prefect choice. They are so easy to make, smell delicious and just melt in your mouth. Those little gems are so sweet and creamy - it makes you happy! 🙂
Would you like to save this recipe?
We'll email this post to you, so you can come back to it later!
You can also roll each truffle in coconut instead of dipping them in melted white chocolate.
I love the eggnog taste of those truffles. Both versions are equally pleasing. They also look pretty festive - perfect for the holiday season. You can keep them in the fridge and treat your guests at any time.
I will be making more truffles this season. That's for sure.
Enjoy!

First I love the name Vivienne!!! If I hadn't had a boy (Henry) I was searching around for old fashioned girl names lol. It wasn't meant to be. The truffles look fantastic although I have never been a fan of eggnog (always taste like liquid bubble gum to me) I would totally eat one of your truffles as I would think I would like the flavor better in non liquid form.

I don't like the store bought eggnog. This recipe recreates the taste of eggnog without actually using it 🙂 Thank you for your comment, Ramona!

What a beautiful and festive dessert. I'm not a fan of eggnog to drink... but I would definitely eat these lovely little treats. 🙂 I'm looking forward to holiday baking with my kids this year too. Have fun with your two girls. 🙂
