This dessert is the perfect combination of creamy cheesecake, spicy eggnog, and tangy pomegranate, making it a festive delight that everyone will love.
To make this delicious dessert, you will need the following ingredients:

For the crust:

- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup melted butter

For the filling:

- 3 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup eggnog
- 3 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the swirl:

- 1/2 cup pomegranate juice
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp water
To start, preheat your oven to 325°F. In a bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan and bake for 10 minutes.
While the crust is baking, prepare the filling. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the eggnog, eggs, and vanilla extract, and beat until well combined. Pour the filling over the crust.
To make the swirl, mix together the pomegranate juice, cornstarch, and water in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens. Drizzle the mixture over the cheesecake filling and use a knife to swirl it into the filling.
Bake the cheesecake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is almost set. Allow the cheesecake to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
When ready to serve, remove the cheesecake from the pan and slice into pieces. The cheesecake should be creamy and smooth, with a tangy pomegranate swirl running through it. The crust should be crisp and buttery, providing the perfect contrast to the creamy filling.
This Eggnog Pomegranate Swirl Cheesecake is the perfect dessert for any holiday gathering. It's easy to make, looks impressive, and tastes absolutely delicious. Give it a try and impress your guests with your baking skills!
