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.

Number Of Ingredients 10

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

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat small glass pie dish or mini cheesecake pan with nonstick spray.

  • 6. Allow to cool for at least 20 minutes then chill in refrigerator for at least 2 hours.

The cheesecake was a bit dense, but the flavor was good. I think I would try a different recipe next time.

This cheesecake was a little too sweet for my taste, but the texture was great. I might try making it again with less sugar next time.

This cheesecake was delicious! The eggnog flavor was subtle but present, and the cranberry sauce added a nice tartness. I would definitely make this again.

I'm not usually a fan of eggnog, but this cheesecake changed my mind! The flavors were perfectly balanced and the texture was smooth and creamy. I highly recommend this recipe.

This cheesecake was a hit at my holiday party! The cranberry sauce added a festive touch and the eggnog gave it a creamy, rich flavor. I will definitely be making this again next year.
