- 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.

SUPER EASY EGGNOG CHEESECAKE
As the name says, this a SUPER easy eggnog cheesecake. It is also VERY rich. I suppose this could be lightened up by using fat free cream cheese, milk and possibly eggnog (if it exists, not sure on that one). Pressing the Pirouette cookies into the sides of the cake makes for a beautiful presentation on any holiday table. For an even prettier touch, tie a festive ribbon around the cake before presenting it to your guests or family. Recipe comes from "More Joys of Jello" cookbook. Cook time includes chill time.

EGGNOG CHEESECAKE
I was searching for an eggnog cheesecake 10 years ago and couldn't find one that I really liked, so I took a basic cheesecake recipe from an old cookbook and fiddled with it to my liking, and this is what I came up with. This is a wonderful eggnog cheesecake that's perfect for the holidays. This makes 1-10 inch cheesecake. If you don't like a really thick graham cracker crust, modify it. My family loves a nice, thick graham crust, so I obliged them. :0)

Steps:
- CRUST:
- Using a lightly greased, 10 inch Springform pan, combine crumbs, cinnamon, nutmeg and melted butter and press firmly into pan, coming up sides 1-2 inches, depending on how thick you like your crust. Press firmly into and up the sides of the pan using a measuring cup or other flat, round utensil. Chill in freezer while you make the filling.
- FILLING:.
- Place a full kettle of water on to boil.
- Beat Philadelphia cream cheese for one minute until smooth and free of any lumps. Scrape bowl.
- Add large eggs one at a time, beating well in between. Scrape bowl.
- Gradually add sugar and beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Scrape bowl.
- Add sour cream, extracts and spices and mix well. Scrape bowl making sure all of the ingredients are WELL incorporated.
- Before filling pan, wrap outside of spring form pan with tinfoil.
- Pour filling into spring form pan, and tap lightly on counter to remove any air bubbles.
- Place springform pan into a large baking pan and place it in preheated oven. Then fill baking pan with boiling water, so that it comes up about half way up the springform pan. (It is easier to fill the pan with water after the cheesecake is in the oven than trying to fiddle with getting a baking pan INTO the oven that is full of boiling water).
- Bake 325 degrees for 75 minutes.
- When done baking, turn off oven and crack open oven door slightly, and leave it cracked open while oven cools.
- DO NOT DISTURB CHEESECAKE.
- Remove the cheesecake when the oven is completely cooled.
- Remove tinfoil and dry off the outside of the springform pan.
- Place in refrigerator and chill at least 4 hours before serving.
