I made this cheesecake for a christmas party last year, (my first cheesecake I ever made), I couldn't believe how easy it was to make and how wonderful it tasted. Friends are asking me to make it for the party again this year, this time I will be adding cinnamon & nutmeg in the crust. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe.

After reading all of the reviews I was excited to make this. The only change I made was to double the graham cracker crust as suggested by a review. I baked it in a water bath, let it cool in the oven, refrigerated for over a day...Then was deeply disappointed to cut into it and find it wasn't done. (I bought an instant read thermometer today for the next cheesecake I'll make). It was really soft and almost pudding like in the center although the outside looked fine. The graham cracker crust was too thick..overpowering. I'd recommend the original amount for the crust. The eggnog flavor wasn't very strong..Probably won't make this again:{

I made this exact recipe for Christmas last year, and the ENTIRE thing was gone. It was fantastic! For a beginner cheesecake maker, it was really easy too! I've already been told its a MUST on my table again this year! Thanks so much for posting the recipe!

Good flavor though heavier than we prefer. To lighten it, I added 8 oz whipped cream to fold in before baking. I also didn't have to bake it near as long as suggested in this recipe. I sprinkled alittle nutmeg on top for presentation only. :o)

This is so delicious! I made it once with the rum and once without and they were both fantastic!

Best cheesecake I ever had. Really could not taste the eggnog, I have to say, but it was delicious and creamy. A big hit with a large extended family at Christmas. I'll make this again.

This recipe has become a staple in my house. Easy to make, a short list of ingredients, and really delicious. I also make it substituting chocolate cookie crumbs for the graham cracker crumbs, and using Baileys Irish Cream instead of eggnog. Thanks for sharing!

I wish I could give this 10 stars. My boyfriend is still talking about how great it was. I made it twice over the holiday season, both times to rave reviews. My roommate even wanted me to make one to take back home with her! :) This was a wonderful recipe. I did add 1/4 tsp each of ginger, nutmeg and cinnamon to the crust. Will be at our Christmas parties for years to come :) Thank you so much!

My first attempt at this failed miserably but then I learned patience. You really do have to let this set, overnight is best! It is amazingly rich and simply delicious!

This was a big hit over Christmas with our guests. Very tasty, however it didn't seem to have enough of that Eggnog flavor for my liking. So next time I think I'd like to add more eggnog. I also used the recipe for the rum caramel sauce from the Eggnog Cheesecake II... it was yummy!

I added a little more eggnog and then made the extra batter into minitures in a cupcake pan, they were a huge hit at work.

AMAZING cheesecake! I cannot tell you how many of these I have made. I made it for Christmas this years, and ended up making one for each guest to bring home! It's rich, creamy and delicious. Also a plus, my brother HATES egg nog, but still loved the cheesecake. So it is really good for all your guests, even egg nog haters :]

The cheesecake was ABSOLUTELY excellent! Everyone at Christmas dinner loved it! I followed some other people's recommendation and used an entire cup of eggnog. The crust is fantastic and works well against the cheesecake.

My first attempt at cheesecake. Very easy, and not too time consuming! I did this the short cut method and used 1/2 recipe with a pre-made graham crust... didn't want to do a huge production my first attempt. This turned out VERY good. Got raves from my mother-in-law even. May even try the full production next time I make it... but, I will definately make this in some way, shape, or form again!

This is a good cheesecake. It has good texture. The trick is to beat the cream cheese and sugar a good 3 minutes before adding the other ingredients. What would make this cheesecake great is to add more than just a pinch of nutmeg to the cream cheese mixture. I would suggest adding up to 1 to 2 tsp. of nutmeg to really bring out the eggnog flavor. When I made this, I used only 1/4 tsp. and ended up sprinkling nutmeg on top of each slice, which is good too! I used Captain Morgan spiced rum. Yum!
