Instructions
Follow these clear steps to create your incredible No-Bake Eggnog Cheesecake Dessert:
1. Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
2. Form the Crust: Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan evenly. Use the bottom of a glass to pack it tightly.
3. Chill the Crust: Place the crust in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set while you prepare the filling.
4. Make the Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth.
5. Add Sweeteners: Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing until fully combined and creamy.
6. Mix Eggnog Flavor: Pour in the eggnog, vanilla extract, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Mix until smooth and all ingredients are well integrated.
7. Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
8. Fold the Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the eggnog mixture. Be careful to maintain the light and fluffy texture.
9. Combine: Once fully incorporated, pour this filling onto your chilled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
10. Chill the Cheesecake: Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to set properly.
11. Serve: Slice and serve cold, generously topped with extra whipped cream, if desired.
By following these simple steps, you’ll create a No-Bake Eggnog Cheesecake Dessert that dazzles both in flavor and appearance.
