Take a look at this scrumptious Eggnog Cheesecake that promises to deliver a slice of holiday magic!
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 4 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup eggnog
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Whipped cream (for topping)
- Ground nutmeg (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined and press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add in 1 cup sugar, mixing well. Add in the eggs one at a time, blending until fully incorporated.
- Stir in the vanilla extract, eggnog, and ground nutmeg until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the crust in the springform pan. Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center slightly jiggles.
- Once baked, turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside for about an hour. This helps prevent cracking.
- Remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool completely. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
- Before serving, top with whipped cream and dust with additional ground nutmeg for an extra festive touch!
