Instructions
-
Simmer eggnog in a small saucepan.
-
In a medium bowl, combine white chocolate, salt, and butter; pour the hot eggnog over this mixture, let it sit for one minute, then whisk until smooth.
-
If any chocolate remains undissolved, microwave the mixture in 6-second intervals, whisking after each, until smooth.
-
Stir in 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, adding an additional 1/4 teaspoon after tasting if desired.
-
Press cling wrap directly onto the ganache surface and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm enough to scoop.
-
Scoop the firm mixture into 1-inch balls, rolling them smooth and dusting hands with confectioners' sugar if sticky, then place on a foil-covered baking sheet.
-
Melt white chocolate candy coating until fluid.
-
Dip each truffle into the melted coating, allowing excess to drip, then return to the baking sheet; optionally, sprinkle with nutmeg before the coating sets.
-
Allow the coating to set completely.
