Eggnog Brownies

These glazed Eggnog Brownies are chewy, fudgy, and full of holiday flavor. They are the perfect quick and easy Christmas dessert to bring to a party!

Eggnog seems to be one of those things that people either love or hate. I don’t like to drink eggnog but I love the flavor. So baking things like this Eggog Texas Sheet Cake, or these (incredible) Eggnog Blossoms with it is the perfect solution! Then whatever is left in the carton, my kids happily drink. They talk about “neggnog” for months afterwards, and then when it arrives back on store shelves the next Christmas, they are thrilled!

I always get excited too, when eggnog season rolls back around. It just tastes like Christmas time, and I love coming up with new ways to use it in treats for gifts, parties, and my massive Christmas cookie trays that I create each year.

Do you do that too? Make ridiculous amounts of cookies, candy, and fudge each Christmas? I make one for my family, one for the get together with my husbands side of the family, and one for my side of the family. And usually I end up with such mass amounts of treats that every party we attend, every neighbor, and our church all end up with their own trays as well. I don’t know why I do this. I mean, I bake all year round. I bake for a living. Yet I still get carried away this time of year. I don’t hear anyone complaining, so this is just the way it’s going to stay.

Now because I have a slight obsession with brownies, it was only a matter of time before I came up with an eggnog version. They have the chewy, fudgy texture of a brownie, and the flavor of an eggnog spiked sugar cookie! These are truly delicious and they are a really easy, fun new way to enjoy this seasonal flavor! You can certainly eat them plain, but I thought a glaze seemed like the perfect special touch to take these brownies to a new level of yum! A little dash of nutmeg on top, and these are holiday party ready!

Ingredients

  

Brownies

• 3/4 cup unsalted butter
• 8 oz white chocolate
• 1/2 cup eggnog
• 1 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp rum extract
• 2 1/4 cup all purpose flour

Glaze

• 2 cup powdered sugar
• 3-4 tbsp eggnog
• nutmeg for dusting on the pot

Instructions

 

Brownies

• Preheat oven to 350
• In a glass bowl, microwave the white chocolate, butter, and eggnog about 90 seconds, stirring every 30 seconds until melted and smooth.
• Mix in the sugar, eggs, salt, and rum extract.
• Stir in the flour just until incorporated - you don't want to mix too much air into the batter.
• Spread evenly into a 9x13" greased pan. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with fudgy crumbs. Be careful not to over bake or the brownies will not be fudgy. Let cool completely.

Glaze

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and eggnog until smooth. You want a thick, glue like consistency. Add more eggnog if too thick. Spread over cooled brownies, and sprinkle a bit of nutmeg on top, if desired. Store in the refrigerator.
