For the crust:
- 1 1/2 cups of graham cracker crumbs

- 24 oz of cream cheese, softened

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 into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes and set aside to cool.
In a separate mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add in the sugar, eggnog, and vanilla extract. Mix well. Add in the eggs, one at a time, and mix until fully incorporated. Finally, add in the nutmeg and mix well. Pour the mixture into the cooled crust.
Bake the cheesecake for 50-60 minutes or until the center is set. Remove from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
For the topping, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and nutmeg until stiff peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the top of the cheesecake.
