This is a great cheesecake recipe. Both my husband and myself liked it. However I do not really taste any eggnog flavour. It is just a great basic cheesecake with a little rum flavour. It should be called rum cheesecake. Next time I will try replacing some cream with eggnog and adding some more nutmeg. Read More

This was a good cheesecake. But eggnog? Not really. I told everyone that it was an eggnog cheesecake and then it didn't taste like eggnog at all. It made a liar out of me. It just tasted like cheesecake. Also I would use a 10 inch springform pan because it raised so far above the top of the 9 inch that it cracked. Read More

This cheesecake would have been perfect if I had used actual rum instead of rum extract. Three tablespoons of extract was WAY too much. Don't do what I did! Other than my mistake though this is a good cheesecake recipe. The crust was good and the cake itself didn't crack and had a good heavy texture. I will make it again this Christmas but will either use real rum or only 1 tablespoon of extract. Read More

I've used this recipe before and loved it but I was out of town without my Kraft cookbook and thought that I'd have to find a new eggnog cheesecake that didn't call for eggnog. I was thrilled to find the same recipe here. Read More
