Ingredients

• 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
• 0.25 cups granulated sugar
• 24 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 0.75 cups eggnog
• 3 large eggs
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 1 cups whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
• 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 1/4 cup sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.

Step 3

Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even crust. Set aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Add 3/4 cup sugar to the cream cheese and beat until fully combined.

Step 6

Mix in the eggnog, eggs (one at a time), vanilla extract, and ground nutmeg. Beat on medium speed until the batter is smooth and well combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Step 7

Pour the cheesecake batter over the prepared crust in the springform pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Place the springform pan on a baking sheet to catch any potential drips, and bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is just set and slightly jiggly.

Step 9

Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside with the oven door slightly ajar for 1 hour. This helps prevent cracking.

Step 10

Remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature before refrigerating for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Step 11

To serve, garnish the cheesecake with whipped cream and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon, if desired.

Step 12

Slice and enjoy!
