For the crust:

For the eggnog mousse:
- 1 cup eggnog

To start, preheat your oven to 325°F. In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix well and press the mixture onto the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes and set aside to cool.

Pour the mixture over the cooled crust and bake for 50-55 minutes or until the center is almost set. Let it cool completely.
For the eggnog mousse, heat the eggnog in a saucepan over medium heat. Sprinkle the gelatin over the eggnog and whisk until dissolved. Remove from heat and let it cool. In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Fold in the cooled eggnog mixture and mix well. Pour the mixture over the cooled cheesecake and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
When ready to serve, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and garnish with whipped cream and nutmeg.
