In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the heavy cream, eggnog, and unsalted butter. Stir occasionally until the butter is melted and the mixture is warm but not boiling.
Remove the saucepan from heat and add the white chocolate chips. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Stir in the freshly grated nutmeg and rum extract (if using) until well combined.
Pour the mixture into a shallow dish or bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or until completely chilled and firm.
Once the mixture is firm, scoop small amounts (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll into balls using your hands. If the mixture is too sticky, lightly dust your hands with powdered sugar to help with shaping.
Roll each truffle in powdered sugar until evenly coated, and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Lightly dust the tops of the truffles with a pinch of ground nutmeg for an extra festive touch.
Refrigerate the truffles for at least 30 minutes to set. Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
