Allrecipes Community Tips and Praise

"I've made this cheesecake every holiday season for years, it's amazing," says scrgrl75. "People that don't like eggnog LOVE it! The only thing I do differently is I use crushed ginger snap cookies for the crust instead of graham crackers."

"I wouldn't change a thing," according to Erica Troxel Procter. "I put a little nutmeg on top before I cooked it. It was a hit. Very creamy and delicious!"

"My whole family thinks this is the best dessert ever," raves Janice James. "Made it exactly as the recipe says and served it with whipped cream. My food processor is too small to make it in, so I used my hand mixer."

Ingredients

1 cup graham cracker crumbs
3 tablespoons melted butter
2 tablespoons white sugar
3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup white sugar
¾ cup eggnog
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 eggs
2 tablespoons rum
1 pinch ground nutmeg

Directions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons sugar in a medium bowl until well combined. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch spring form pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes; transfer pan to a wire rack and allow crust to cool.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
Combine cream cheese, 1 cup sugar, eggnog, and flour in a food processor; process until smooth. Blend in eggs, rum, and nutmeg. Pour mixture into cooled crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C) and continue to bake until edges are puffed and surface of cheesecake is firm except for a small spot in the center that will jiggle when the pan is gently shaken, about 45 minutes. Loosen the sides of the springform pan; let cheesecake cool before removing rim completely.
