Description

Creamy Eggnog Cheesecake Bars are the perfect festive treat for the holiday season, combining the rich flavors of eggnog and cheesecake in a delicious dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups crushed graham crackers
  • 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 2 packages (8 ounces each) softened cream cheese
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup eggnog
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix together the crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and 1/4 cup of sugar until it resembles wet sand.
  3. Firmly press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to create a solid crust.
  4. In a large bowl, blend the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  5. Gradually add in the remaining 1 cup of sugar, mixing until fully incorporated.
  6. Blend in the sour cream, eggnog, eggs, vanilla extract, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt until completely smooth and well combined.
  7. Carefully pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust, ensuring it spreads evenly.
  8. Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are firm and the center has a slight jiggle.
  9. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake squares cool inside for about 30 minutes to avoid cracking.
  10. After cooling, allow the dish to reach room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best flavor and texture.
  11. Once chilled, slice into squares and serve cold, garnished with a sprinkle of nutmeg or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.

Notes

  • For best results, refrigerate overnight.
