Eggnog Cheesecake with Gingersnap and Pecan Crust

Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup eggnog
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup gingersnap cookies, crushed
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed gingersnap cookies, chopped pecans, and melted butter. Mix well until evenly coated.
  3. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create the crust. Bake for about 10 minutes until set, then let it cool.
  4. In another large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy.
  5. Add in the eggnog, eggs, vanilla extract, and ground nutmeg. Mix until everything is well combined and the mixture is smooth.
  6. Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until the center of the cheesecake is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake sit in the oven for an hour.
  8. Once cooled, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least four hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.
  9. Before serving, garnish with additional whipped cream or a sprinkle of nutmeg on top if desired.
