‘Tis the season for Egg Nog Cheesecake with J.K. Coi!
If you know me, you’re already well aware that my favourite treat in the whole world is cheesecake. I will go on for hours about my favourite kinds, like the praline chocolate orange cheesecake, or the lemon meringue cheesecake, or…you get the idea.
So when I was looking for a new dessert to make the very first year that I hosted my family for Christmas dinner, I wanted to make something different, something that I could maybe turn into a new tradition of my own. I scoured my sources for weeks, and ended up trying 3 different recipes for 3 different desserts (the pie recipe and the squares recipe didn’t make the cut).
NO surprise that this cheesecake was the winner, and now I get requests for it every year!
Egg Nog Cheesecake
Ingredients:
- 12 ounces gingersnaps (about 48 cookies) finely ground
- ¼ cup sugar
- ¼ cup melted butter
- 32 ounces cream cheese
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups refrigerated eggnog, divided
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tblsp all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whipping cream
- Garnish: fresh grated nutmeg
Preparation:
- Stir together first 3 ingredients; press mixture onto bottom of a 10-inch springform pan.
- Beat cream cheese at medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth; add eggs, 1 at a time, beating until blended after each addition. Add 1 1/2 cups eggnog, and beat until blended. Fold in 2 cups powdered sugar and 2 Tbsp. flour; carefully pour cream cheese mixture into prepared pan.
- Bake at 325° for 1 hour. Turn off oven. Let cheesecake stand in oven, with door closed, 1 hour. Remove to wire rack, and let cool completely. Cover and chill at least 8 hours.
