Ingredients

For the Crust:

1 cup graham cracker crumbs
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons granulated sugar

For the Filling:

3 packets cream cheese, softened (8-ounce)
1 cup granulated sugar
¾ cup eggnog
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons rum (optional)
1 pinch ground nutmeg

Instructions

1
Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
- Bake for 10 minutes, then place the pan on a wire rack to cool. Increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C).
2
Make the Filling:
- In a food processor or large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the sugar, eggnog, and flour, blending until well incorporated.
- Mix in the eggs one at a time, followed by the rum (if using) and nutmeg. Ensure the filling is silky and free of lumps.
3
Assemble and Bake:
- Pour the filling over the cooled crust, smoothing the surface.
- Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 10 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 250°F (120°C). Continue baking for 40-45 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle when gently shaken.
4
Cool and Serve:
- Run a knife around the edge of the cheesecake to loosen it from the pan, but leave the rim in place. Allow the cheesecake to cool to room temperature in the pan.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results. Remove the springform rim before serving.
