Creamy Eggnog Cheesecake
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
  • 3/4 cup eggnog
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons rum
  • 1 pinch ground nutmeg
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit, or 165 degrees Celsius, for the initial baking process.
2
In a medium-sized bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar in a harmonious blend until everything is perfectly incorporated.
3
Next, press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create a solid foundation.
4
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then carefully transfer it to a wire rack and allow it to cool completely.
5
While the crust is cooling, prepare the filling by combining cream cheese, sugar, eggnog, and flour in a food processor. Process the mixture until it reaches a smooth consistency.
6
Add eggs, rum, and nutmeg to the food processor and blend until everything is fully incorporated.
7
Pour the eggnog mixture into the cooled crust, making sure to fill it evenly.
8
Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and continue baking until it's done.
9
Reduce the heat to 250 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for an additional 45 minutes, or until the edges are puffed and the surface is firm except for a small spot in the center that will jiggle when the pan is gently shaken.
10
Once the cheesecake is baked, loosen the sides of the springform pan and let it cool completely before removing the rim completely.

Finally, indulge in your delicious homemade cheesecake and enjoy!
