Time 3h40m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

18 oz danish butter cookies
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
5 tablespoons melted butter
16 oz cream cheese, room temperature
1 ¼ cups granulated sugar, divided
¼ cup sour cream
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 teaspoons rum extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup vanilla-spiced eggnog
½ oz gelatin powder
½ qt heavy whipping cream

Steps:

  • Line a 9 x 13-inch (22 x 33 cm) baking dish with parchment paper.
  • Make the crust: In a food processor, pulse the cookies into coarse crumbs. Add the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and pulse into fine crumbs, about 2 minutes. Add the melted butter and pulse until the mixture clumps together, about 10 pulses.
  • Pour the crust into the prepared baking dish and press evenly against the bottom of the pan. Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes, until set.
  • Meanwhile, make the filling: in a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and ¾ cup granulated sugar together with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until smooth, 3-4 minutes.
  • Add the sour cream, cinnamon, nutmeg, rum extract, and vanilla and beat until incorporated, 2-3 minutes.
  • In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, microwave the eggnog for 30-45 seconds, or until just warm to the touch. Add the gelatin powder and whisk until dissolved.
  • Add the eggnog mixture to the cream cheese mixture and mix until well combined, about 2 minutes.
  • In a separate large bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream and remaining ½ cup granulated sugar together, gradually increasing the speed, until stiff peaks form, 6-7 minutes.
  • Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the eggnog mixture. Refrigerate the remaining whipped cream until ready to serve the bars.
  • Evenly spread the filling over the crust. Lightly tap the pan on a flat surface to release any air bubbles. Refrigerate uncovered for 3-4 hours, until set.
  • Use the parchment to lift the bars from the pan and slice into 12 pieces. Top with the reserved whipped cream, if desired.
  • Enjoy!

I'm not a big fan of eggnog, but these cheesecake bars were surprisingly delicious! The eggnog flavor was subtle and not overpowering.
