GODIVA always conjures up memories of decadent indulgence in one of the most delicious chocolates you’ll ever eat. So when I was asked to help create a few fun ideas for them, my sweet tooth and I were overjoyed and ready for the task! I wanted to make something that was as luscious as the chocolate itself but also let the chocolate remain the hero in the recipe.

I decided to create the most delicious truffle eggnog ever to spark a little joy this holiday season! To make this treat, I used truffles from the 24-piece Signature Truffle Gift box, which not only works for recipes but would make any recipient swoon!

  • Over medium heat, add in the heavy cream and whole milk and stir
  • so it doesn’t burn. Toss in 6 decadent GODIVA truffles and watch them melt! Again, keep stirring so none of the ingredients burn.
  • In a stand alone mixer, whisk the egg yolks on high until light and fluffy. Add in the milk
  • mixture slowly and continue to whisk.
  • Pour the eggnog into a large bowl a set aside since you’re going to beat the egg whites next!
  • In the stand alone mixer, beat the egg whites and 1/4 cup sugar until soft peaks form.
  • Fold the egg whites into the eggnog mixture to give it the fluffiest, smoothest texture for sipping!

Why Do We Drink Eggnog At Christmas?

Eggnog has been touted as having it’s roots in British aristocracy. It is said, in the winter, the wealthy would drink warm milk and egg beverages seasoned with pricey spices such as ground nutmeg and cinnamon and expensive liquors like brandy and sherry to keep it from spoiling. When the drink passed to America, rum was used. During the American Revolution, it is thought that rum was replaced with moonshine since supplies of rum from the Caribbean were low. That scarcity could account for eggnog’s designation a special occasion-only drink.

The usual store bought eggnog contains roughly this…

It’s not a great list of ingredients, especially high fructose corn syrup!

The classical recipe of the chocolate truffle includes a ganache which is a mixture of bittersweet chocolate and heavy cream. The classical recipe is experimented with varied ingredients to obtain different flavors.

Chocolate truffles are named after truffles because of the striking resemblance with the original truffle mushrooms. While one is the expensive fungus that grows underneath the oak trees, the other Is the intricate chocolate ganache coated in tempered chocolate as a chocolate coating.
