amazing!

This is so easy and delicious!!! I used a store bought crust to save time, but then got creative and made a chocolate mint crust for the rest of the batter. These 'extras' were by far the best!!! I just crushed thin mint cookies up and added 2 T butter melted, mixed and baked for 10 minutes.

I certainly think that putting the cream cheese through the food processor must be the key to an ultra smooth and creamy cheesecake! I made this for Christmas Eve two years ago and my brother in-law (huge cheesecake fan) said it was the best he'd ever had! I personally don't care for cheesecake but I enjoyed it as well. Yummy recipe,thank you!

I made this cheesecake for Xmas and my family loved it. Thanks for sharing a great one!

This is the BEST EVER & EASIEST CHEESECAKE. I Changed a little like I used Cinnamon Graham Crackers. And also couldn't find any eggnog after Christmas, so I made my own the Single serving recipe is at the bottom. Also messed up and made it Pink, made a mistake thought it was Vanilla Extract & it was red food coloring so already had the everything in the eggnog so, said its gonna be a Pink Cake. Hey, good for Valantine's Day or green for St. Patty's Day. And Also used 10in deep dish pie pan, didn't have Spring pan. I put a pan of water under the cake while it was cooking. Be will make all the time now that I know how to make eggnog here's the recipe by the way. Single-Serving Eggnog 3/4 cup cold whole milk 1 egg, well beaten 2 ounces chilled liquor (rum, bourbon, brandy) 1 rounded teaspoon confectioners sugar 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract ground nutmeg In a small bowl, combine the milk, egg, liquor, sugar and vanilla. Whisk until well combined. Pour into chilled glass and sprinkle with nutmeg.

Absolutely delicious!!!!

Great recipe. I used the Amazingly Good Eggnog recipe on this site for the eggnog and it was delicious. Great recipe. Only change I made was to add a bit of cinnamon to the crust.

VERY GOOD, SEEMS LIKE A COMMERCIALLY MADE CHEESECAKE, PARENTS LOVED IT

This cheesecake is FANTASTIC. I used helpful suggestions from the other reviewers to make modifications, and here's my advice: 1. I scaled the recipe down to 11 servings so it used 2 pkgs of cream cheese. I used one pkg of full-fat cream cheese and one pkg of light, and it still tasted wonderfully rich. 3. I added about 3/4 to 1 tsp of cinnamon and 1/2 tsp of nutmeg to the batter, subbed 3/4 tbsp of vanilla extract for the rum (I didn't have any rum on hand), and used 1 cup eggnog. 4. MAKE THIS CHEESECAKE THE DAY BEFORE YOU NEED IT (I can't stress that enough; this recipe improves with time, and the flavor is much better the second day). 5. If you're using a store-bought graham cracker crust, there will be more batter than you need to fill the crust, so look up a "crustless cheesecake" recipe and use those directions for baking the excess batter. 6. Use a water bath (I just filled a cake pan with water and put it on the bottom rack of the oven, below the middle rack where the cheesecake was). 7. When it's finished cooking, turn off the heat, open the oven door a bit, and let it cool in there for a couple hours before refrigerating. This recipe is fantastic - it's definitely going to be an Xmas staple from now on!

Excellent...this will be made every CHristmas!!! WOw. THis was delicious. I did add more like 1 cup of egg nog and I used fresh ground nutmeg. Instead of graham cracker crust, I used gingersnap cookies that I saw on another recipe. THis was really wonderful...in fact cannot wait for leftovers today!...they left me a little piece.

Great cheesecake! Your had better like eggnog before you make this one. I used fresh grated nutmeg and grated a little more over the top of the cake before serving. Very creamy texture. For the bakers that stated this did not taste like eggnog , I suggest using quality eggnog and fresh nutmeg.

Made this for company Christmas party. I have made a lot of cheesecakes and this was the best I have ever made. I made a thicker crust with 2 cups of graham crackers, a little extra butter and baked in a 10-inch spring form pan. For the filling, I used a little over 1 cup of egg nog. I baked with a water bath beside the cheescake, and let it rest in the oven for about an hour after turning the heat off and opening the door halfway. Beautiful cake with slightly browned edges and no cracks. This was the first time I had used the food processor- very easy and resulted in a very creamy cake. I am making it again tomorrow!

This is amazing! The only change I made was to use 1 tbsp vanilla extract in place of the rum extract. Baked in a water bath, and when time was up, turned the oven off, cracked the door, and let the cake cool completely before removing it. Definitely cream the cream cheese and eggnog together for several minutes before adding everything else - it comes out sooooo smooth and silky! Wonderful cheesecake. Thanks for the recipe!

So good! I tested this before Christmas to make sure it is good enough to serve a group, and it definitely is! I scaled the recipe for 11 people (cuts the cream cheese to 2 packages) and it fit in a prepared 10" graham crust perfectly. Baked like is was a pumpkin cheesecake, perfect timing! Used Southern Comfort vanilla eggnog to make it appeal to more people. Can top with leftover (homemade) cranberry sauce, chilled, to make it more festive. Absolutely delicious!

This was one of the best cheesecakes I have made. I used whiskey instead of rum because I did not have any.

Very good cheese cake. I needed to bake it about 5 min more than recommended time. I used an extra T. spoon of rum, an extra half pinch of nutmeg, quality commercially prepared eggnog and (my favorite adjustment)--special edition gingerbread graham crackers by honey maid. It was well liked at our Thanksgiving dinner. Thanks for the recipe.

i created an account because of this recipe because i want everyone to know how amazing it is! people who dont even like eggnog were going back for more! i baked for recommended time but afterwards i left it in the oven with the door cracked for about an hour. it turned out perfectly. this is now my signature dessert, thanks so much!

This is heavenly! I made this for a Christmas party and everyone loved it! Definetly will use this every year now! Thanks for sharing!

This was delicious!! My son raved and raved about it, and my mother-in-law, who doesn't like cheesecake, said it was delicious (I think she just tried it to be polite, but ended up liking it :))
