Eggnog Cheesecake Bars

6 out of 11 stars. Pretty yummy if you like eggnog

  • 12 grahm crackers, finely ground ( 1 1/2cups)
  • 3/4 cups, plus 3tbls sugar
  • 4 tbls melted butter
  • 1 lb cream cheese, room temperature
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 3/4 cup eggnog
  • 1 tbls. plus 1 1/2 tsp. flour
  • 1 tbls. plus 1 tsp. brandy (I used Captain Morgans rum & I used a little more than called for )
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • nutmeg for dusting after cooked

Preheat oven 350. Coat 9inch square baking pan with cooking spray. Stir together grahm crackers, 3tbls. sugar & melted butter. Press into bottom of pan. Bake until crust is just brown around edges, 12-15mins. Let cool.

Beat cream cheese with a mixer until fluffy. Add the remaining 3/4 cup sugar, eggs, egg yolk, flour, brandy, vanilla, salt. Beat until smooth. Pour filling over crust. Set pan inside roasting pan & fill the roasting pan with just enough hot water to come up halfway up the sides of the baking pan. Bake until just set, 40-45mins. Remove baking pan from roasting pan and let cool, 30mins. Refridgerate for 3hrs or overnight.

Dust top with nutmeg - and serve :)
