Number Of Ingredients 15

2 ¼ cups (302g) graham cracker crumbs
½ cup (112g) salted butter, melted
3 tbsp (39g) sugar
1/2 tsp nutmeg
24 ounces (678g) cream cheese, room temperature
1 cup (207g) sugar
3 tbsp (24g) all purpose flour
1 cup (230g) eggnog
3/4 tsp ground nutmeg
4 large eggs, room temperature
1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
3 tbsp (45ml) eggnog
10 tbsp (72g) powdered sugar
Nutmeg, for sprinkling
Pearl sprinkles, optional

Steps:

  • CRUST
  • Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a 9-inch (23cm) springform pan with parchment paper in the bottom and grease the sides.
  • . Combine the crust ingredients in a small bowl. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the springform pan.
  • . Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
  • . Cover the outsides of the pan with aluminum foil so that water from the water bath cannot get in. See how I set up my pans. Set prepared pan aside. CHEESECAKE FILLING AND TOPPING
  • p id="instruction-step-6″>5. Reduce oven to 300°F (148°C). 6.
  • In a large mixer bowl, mix the cream cheese, sugar and flour until well combined (Use low speed to keep less air from getting into the batter, which can cause cracks). Scrape down the sides of the bowl. 7.
  • Add the eggnog and nutmeg and mix on low speed until well combined. 8.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating slowly and scraping the sides of the bowl after each addition. 9.
  • Pour the cheesecake filling into crust and spread evenly. 10
  • Place springform pan (covered with aluminum foil) inside another larger pan. Fill the larger pan with enough warm water to go about halfway up the sides of the springform pan. The water should not go above the top edge of the aluminum foil on the springform pan. 11
  • Bake for 1 hour and 30-40 minutes. 12
  • Turn off heat and leave cheesecake in oven with door closed for 30 minutes. 13
  • Crack oven door and leave the cheesecake in the oven for about 30 minutes. 14
  • Remove cheesecake from oven and chill until firm, 5-6 hours or overnight. 15
  • To make the whipped cream, add the heavy whipping cream, eggnog and powdered sugar to a large mixer bowl. Whip on high speed until stiff peaks form. 16
  • Remove the cheesecake from the pan, then pipe the whipped cream onto the cheesecake. I made little rosettes with Ateco tip 844, but feel free to decorate as you like. Sprinkle with a little nutmeg and pearl sprinkles, if desired. 17
  • Refrigerate the cheesecake until ready to serve. Cheesecake is best for 3-4 days.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your eggnog cheesecake. Look for fresh, organic ingredients whenever possible.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature. 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 for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the cheesecake to set properly.
  • Garnish the cheesecake with whipped cream, grated nutmeg, or fresh berries. This will add a festive touch to your dessert.
