Eggnog spiked cream cheese filling with warm spices over a chocolate graham crust.
Extra creamy, this bakes up higher than your average cheesecake with a silky and luxurious texture that is just delicious with the chocolate cookie crust.
My uneasiness over using chocolate with eggnog was for nothing. It’s a combination that works surprisingly well together.
While this doesn’t include rum, a much-loved component in eggnog, you can certainly add a tablespoon or two to the filling or even a little bit of rum extract if you have it on hand.
Although, I didn’t – it doesn’t need it.
The warmly spiced eggnog flavor shines through in every single decadent bite.
Eggnog spiked cream cheese filling with warm spices over a chocolate graham crust! This holiday cheesecake bakes up fluffy and taller than your average cheesecake.

Instructions

- Refrigerate until chilled through and serve with fresh whipped cream.

This looks so good! I've wanted to make eggnog recipe almost every year, but when the time comes, other sweets win out. I need to make it a priority!
That looks decadent and delicious! I am a recent convert to egg nog–this looks like it would help me make up for lost time. ;-)
Did I hear cinnamon in this divine sweet? Well, this is for me. Happy New Year Reeni!
