Time 6h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

¼ cup butter, melted
1 ¼ cups vanilla wafer crumbs
¼ cup white sugar
3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
3 eggs
¼ cup dark rum
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 cup water
2 tablespoons butter, melted
⅓ cup packed light brown sugar
2 tablespoons dark rum
½ cup chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
  • In a large bowl, combine 1/4 cup butter, wafer crumbs, and white sugar. Press firmly on the bottom of a 9 inch springform pan.
  • In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until fluffy. Gradually beat in the sweetened condensed milk until smooth. Mix in the eggs. Stir in 1/4 cup rum, vanilla extract, and nutmeg. Pour into the prepared pan.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 40 to 50 minutes, or until center of cake springs back when lightly touched. Allow to cool, then chill.
  • To Make The Pecan Caramel Sauce: In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in 1 cup of water. In a medium saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Stir in brown sugar and the cornstarch mixture. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat, and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat, and add 2 tablespoons dark rum. Allow to cool. Just before serving, stir the pecans into the sauce.
  • Remove the sides of the springform pan from the cooled cheesecake. Serve with the Pecan Caramel Sauce.

I'm not a big fan of eggnog, but I actually really liked this cheesecake. The eggnog flavor is very subtle and it's not overpowering at all. The cheesecake itself is very creamy and delicious.

I had some trouble getting the cheesecake to set properly. I think I might have used too much butter in the crust.

This cheesecake was a bit too rich for my taste, but it was still very good. I think next time I'll use less cream cheese.
