To make this Nutmeg-Kissed Eggnog Cheesecake, you will need the following ingredients:

For the crust:

- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker 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
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 4 large eggs

For the topping:

- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
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, then set aside to cool.
In a separate mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add in the sugar, eggnog, vanilla extract, and nutmeg, and mix until well combined. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Pour the filling over the cooled crust and smooth out the top. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set but still slightly jiggly in the center. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
While the cheesecake is cooling, prepare the topping. In a mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and nutmeg. Mix well and spread over the top of the cheesecake. Return the cheesecake to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
Once done, remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
This Nutmeg-Kissed Eggnog Cheesecake is a perfect combination of creamy, rich, and spicy flavors. The crust is buttery and crunchy, while the filling is smooth and velvety. The topping adds a tangy and sweet contrast to the cheesecake, making it a perfect dessert for any holiday gathering.
