To make this Gingerbread Eggnog Swirl Cheesecake, you will need the following ingredients:

For the crust:

- 1 1/2 cups gingersnap cookie crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the filling:

- 24 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup eggnog
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

For the swirl:

- 1/2 cup gingerbread cookie crumbs
- 1/4 cup eggnog
To begin, preheat your oven to 325°F. In a medium bowl, combine the gingersnap cookie crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add in the sugar, eggnog, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Finally, add in the flour, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg, and mix until just combined.
In a small bowl, mix together the gingerbread cookie crumbs and eggnog to create the swirl mixture. Pour the cheesecake filling into the prepared crust, and then drizzle the swirl mixture over the top. Use a knife to gently swirl the mixture into the cheesecake batter.
Bake the cheesecake for 55-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for an additional 10 minutes, then remove and let cool to room temperature. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours before serving.
This Gingerbread Eggnog Swirl Cheesecake is a perfect dessert for any holiday gathering. The creamy cheesecake is perfectly balanced with the spicy gingerbread and rich eggnog flavors, and the beautiful swirls make for a stunning presentation. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon for an extra festive touch.
