Easy Eggnog Cheesecake: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 2 minute

Ingredients

– 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
– ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
– 2 cups cream cheese, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 cup eggnog
– 3 large eggs
– 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
– 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– ¼ teaspoon salt
– Whipped cream for topping (optional)


Instructions

Making Easy Eggnog Cheesecake is straightforward if you follow these steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Prepare a 9-inch springform pan by greasing it lightly.
2. Make the Crust: In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form an even layer.
3. Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
4. Add Sugar: Gradually add granulated sugar to the cream cheese mixture, continuing to beat until well combined.
5. Incorporate Eggnog: Slowly mix in the eggnog, ensuring it is well incorporated without lumps.
6. Add Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition. Be careful not to overmix.
7. Flavor the Mixture: Stir in the vanilla extract, ground nutmeg, ground cinnamon, and salt until fully combined.
8. Pour Filling: Pour the filling over the prepared crust in the springform pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
9. Bake: Place the cheesecake in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
10. Cool Down: Once done, turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for an additional hour. This helps prevent cracking.
11. Chill: After cooling, remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool at room temperature for 1-2 hours. Then, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, before serving.

Following these steps will guide you in creating a stunning and delicious Easy Eggnog Cheesecake.
