Bring the cozy flavors of the holidays to your dessert table with this creamy Eggnog Cheesecake.
Ingredients:
Crust:
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
Filling:
- 3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup white sugar
- 3/4 cup eggnog
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons rum
- 1 pinch ground nutmeg
- Marshmallows and sprinkles for decorating (optional)
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
- Make the crust: Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar together in a medium bowl until well combined.
- Press graham mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes; transfer the pan to a wire rack and allow the crust to cool. Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- While the crust is cooling, make the filling: Combine cream cheese, sugar, eggnog, and flour in a food processor; process until smooth. Blend in eggs, rum, and nutmeg.
- Pour eggnog mixture into cooled crust.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C) and continue to bake until edges are puffed and surface is firm except for a small spot in the center that will jiggle when the pan is gently shaken, about 45 minutes. Loosen the sides of the springform pan; let cheesecake cool before removing the rim completely.
