To make this delicious dessert, you will need the following ingredients:

For the shortcake:

- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
- 1/2 cup eggnog
- 1 egg, beaten

For the cheesecake:

- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup eggnog
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the strawberry topping:

- 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1/4 cup water
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggnog and egg. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Pour the batter into a greased 9-inch springform pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the shortcake is baking, prepare the cheesecake filling. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the eggnog, eggs, and vanilla extract, and beat until well combined. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the baked shortcake and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for an additional 35-40 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set.
While the cheesecake is baking, prepare the strawberry topping. In a small saucepan, combine the sliced strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and the strawberries are soft. Remove from heat and let cool.
Once the cheesecake is done baking, let it cool to room temperature before removing it from the pan. Top with the strawberry mixture and serve chilled.
This Eggnog Strawberry Shortcake Cheesecake is a perfect dessert for any occasion, from holiday parties to summer barbecues. The combination of creamy cheesecake, fluffy shortcake, and sweet strawberries is sure to please any palate. Give it a try and impress your guests with this decadent dessert delight!
