Graham Cracker Crust

Eggnog Cheesecake Filling

Optional Toppings

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the long sides for easy lifting.
  • In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and cinnamon.
  • Stir in melted butter until evenly coated.
  • Press firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  • Bake for 10 minutes, then remove and let cool slightly.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  • Add sugar and mix until combined.
  • Add eggs one at a time, mixing just until incorporated after each.
  • Add eggnog, flour, vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt. Mix on low just until smooth. Do not overmix.
  • Pour filling over the crust and smooth the top.
  • Bake for 40–50 minutes, or until the center is just set (not glossy or wiggly).
  • Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 20–30 minutes.
  • Cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
  • Lift out using parchment overhang, slice into bars, and top as desired.

The actual nutritional values can vary based on the specific ingredients and brands you use. Be mindful that any nutritional information provided is intended as a general guideline rather than exact values.

Notes

  • Best texture: Use full-fat cream cheese and keep ingredients at room temperature.
  • Avoid cracks: Don’t overmix after adding eggs, and let the bars cool gradually in the oven.
  • Clean slices: Wipe your knife between cuts (or run it under warm water and dry it).
  • Storage: Refrigerate up to 5 days. Freeze up to 2 months; thaw overnight in the fridge.
