CRANBERRY EGGNOG CHEESECAKE

Cranberry Eggnog Cheesecake image

This was something I whipped up for Thanksgiving dinner. It came together so beautifully and is quite possibly the best cheesecake I've ever made! The eggnog is subtle but delicious and the cranberry is the perfect sweet/tart to enhance that eggnog flavor.

Ingredients

CRUST:
1 3/4 c crushed cookie crumbs (i used pecan sandies)
2 Tbsp butter, melted
FILLING:
8 oz neufchatel cream cheese, room temp.
1/2 c sugar
1/8 tsp salt
1 large egg
1/2 c eggnog
1/4 c cranberry sauce (i used the jellied not the whole but either would work)

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat small glass pie dish or mini cheesecake pan with nonstick spray.
2. In a small bowl, combine cookie crumbs and butter; press into prepared pie dish. If using mini cheesecake pan, press about 2 T. into each hole. Tamp down firmly. Bake for about 10 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, beat together neufchatel, sugar, and salt until smooth. Beat in egg and eggnog. Pour into prepared pan.
4. Place cranberry sauce in small microwave safe bowl and microwave in 30 second increments stirring often until jelly is somewhat liquified. Spoon it onto cheesecake filling. Swirl with a knife, if desired.
5. Return pan to oven and bake for about 35 minutes or 20 minutes if using mini pan.
6. Allow to cool for at least 20 minutes then chill in refrigerator for at least 2 hours.

Tips:

Use fresh cranberries for the best flavor. Frozen cranberries can also be used, but they will not have as much tartness.
Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before using. This will help it mix smoothly with the other ingredients.
Don't overbeat the cheesecake batter. Overbeating can cause the cheesecake to be dense and crumbly.
Bake the cheesecake in a water bath. This will help prevent the cheesecake from cracking.
Chill the cheesecake completely before serving. This will help it set and firm up.

Conclusion:

This cranberry eggnog cheesecake is a delicious and festive dessert that is perfect for any holiday gathering. The combination of tart cranberries, creamy eggnog, and rich cheesecake is sure to please everyone. With its beautiful presentation and amazing flavor, this cheesecake is sure to be a hit.
