Ingredients  

Gingersnap Crust:

  • 2 cup gingersnap crumbs
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter

Eggnog Cheesecake Filling:

  • 24 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 3/4 cup eggnog
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp spiced rum
  • 3 large eggs, whisked
  • Hot water for the water bath

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 350F (180C) degrees and place the oven rack in the bottom ⅓ of the oven. Wrap the outside of a 9-inch springform pan with aluminum foil, covering all seams and ensuring no areas are exposed.
  • In a medium bowl, combine gingersnap crumbs, brown sugar, and melted butter.
  • Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes. Remove from the oven, leaving it on.

  • In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until soft. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • Beat in sugar, cornstarch, and nutmeg. With the mixer on low speed, mix in vanilla extract, rum/rum extract, and eggnog. Beat in the eggs until just combined. Place the cheesecake crust in the center of a large roasting pan and pour the cheesecake filling on top.
  • Pour hot water into the roasting pan until there’s about ½-1 inch of water in the bottom. Place the roasting pan with the cheesecake in the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the top is almost set, except in the very middle. Remove from the oven. Cool the cheesecake in the water bath until it reaches room temperature.
  • Remove the springform pan from the roasting pan, cover the cheesecake, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours. When ready to serve, trace around the edges of the cheesecake with a thin knife. Unclamp the springform pan.
