Eggnog Cheesecake

Today I wanted to bring in a little bit of the holidays. As I think back to childhood, there was always one particular drink that I looked forward to each year during Christmas – Eggnog. I remember it being a huge treat that we would to get to partake of this sweet nectar for only a few weeks out of the year. Some people dislike the taste of eggnog, but personally I love it. Today, I mix it up with my absolutely favorite dessert – Cheesecake!

Ingredients:

Filling:

• Cream Cheese, 3 pkgs
• 1 c Sugar
• 3 Tbsp Flour
• 2 Eggs
• 1 c Eggnog
• 2 tsp Rum Extract
• 1/4 tsp Ground Ginger
• 1/2 tsp Groung Cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp Ground Nutmeg

Crust:

I purchased a ready-made Graham Cracker crust, but you can use 1 stick of butter and about a cup and a half of Graham Cracker crumbs to make a crust also.

Directions:

Step 1: Combine cream cheese, sugar, flour, eggs, eggnog, rum extract, ground ginger, ground cinnamon and ground nutmeg in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2: Mix on high until mixture becomes smooth and creamy. Pour into crust.

Step 3:  Bake in your oven at 325 Degrees for 45-50 minutes. Let cool completely and sit in the refrigerator overnight. Garnish with berries and serve optional with whipped topping. This eggnog cheesecake will definitely satisfy your craving for something sweet!
