Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Crust:
    • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
    • 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter
    • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • For the Filling:
    • 24 oz cream cheese, softened
    • 1 cup granulated sugar
    • 3 large eggs
    • 1 cup eggnog
    • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
    • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • For the Topping:
    • Whipped cream
    • Ground nutmeg for sprinkling

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 325°F (163°C). Prepare a 9-inch springform pan by greasing it and lining the bottom with parchment paper.
  • Make the Crust: Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press firmly into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 10 minutes and let it cool.
  • Prepare the Filling: Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and mix until well combined. Incorporate eggs one at a time, beating after each addition.
  • Add Flavorings: Mix in eggnog, flour, vanilla extract, and nutmeg until smooth. Pour filling over the cooled crust.
  • Bake: Place the cheesecake in a water bath and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until the center is slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the door cracked open for 1 hour.
  • Chill: Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  • Serve: Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of nutmeg before serving.

Notes

  • Water Bath Tip: Wrap the bottom of the springform pan with aluminum foil to prevent water from leaking into the cheesecake.
  • Storage: Store leftover cheesecake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Make-Ahead: Cheesecake can be made a day ahead for best texture and flavor.
