How to make Eggnog Cheesecake
First of all, gather all ingredients: graham cracker crumbs, unsalted butter, cream cheese, eggs, cane sugar, flour, eggnog, nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger, powdered sugar and whipping cream. Second of all, make the first bottom layer by combining graham cracker crumbs with butter. Bake for 10 at 300 F. Lastly, prepare second layer by mixing cream cheese with eggs, sugar, flour and spices. Bake for 1 hour at 300 F.
How to make Whipped Cream
Mix whipping cream with powdered sugar and nutmeg using electric mixer until soft peak. Don’t over mix the whipped cream. Over beaten whipped cream changes consistency to clumpy. However, I read some articles that over beaten whipped cream can be saved by adding few tablespoons of whipping cream. After that, the whipped cream has to be mixed with electric mixer until desired consistency is achieved.
Tips to make Homemade Eggnog Cheesecake
- Cover your springform correctly on the bottom with aluminium foil and parchment paper. You don’t want your cheesecake to leak.
- Also, try your eggnog and cheesecake batter to decide how much sugar your cheesecake needs. Some eggnog brands are more sweeter then the others. 3/4 cup of cane sugar is enough but I found that 1/2 cup of sugar might be perfect too. I just hate over sweeten desserts.
- Bake at 300 F, the cheesecake will be smooth. It is best to bake it slowly rather than fast.
