A creamy, no-bake holiday cheesecake infused with festive eggnog, warm spices, and topped with whipped cream and adorable gingerbread cookies.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup eggnog
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup whipped cream (for topping)
  • Additional nutmeg (for garnish)
  • Optional: mini gingerbread cookies for decoration

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until well combined.
  2. Press the mixture firmly into the base of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even crust. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until completely smooth and fluffy.
  4. Add eggnog, vanilla extract, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Continue to beat until creamy and well combined.
  5. Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust and use a spatula to smooth the surface.
  6. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, until the cheesecake is set.
  7. Just before serving, pipe or spoon whipped cream on top.
  8. Garnish with a dusting of nutmeg and festive mini gingerbread cookies for an extra holiday touch.

Notes

  • Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth filling.
  • Overnight chilling gives the best results for a firm set.
  • Decorate just before serving to keep toppings fresh.
  • You can substitute graham crackers with gingerbread cookies for an extra festive crust.
