Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 1 cup white sugar
• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
• 1 pinch ground nutmeg
• 3 tablespoons melted butter
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
• 2 tablespoons rum
• 0.75 cup eggnog

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

Step 2

Press graham mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.

Step 3

Pour eggnog mixture into cooled crust.

Step 4

Make the crust: Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar together in a medium bowl until well combined.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes; transfer the pan to a wire rack and allow crust to cool. Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

Step 6

While the crust is cooling, make the filling: Combine cream cheese, sugar, eggnog, and flour in a food processor; process until smooth. Blend in eggs, rum, and nutmeg.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C) and continue to bake until edges are puffed and surface is firm except for a small spot in the center that will jiggle when the pan is gently shaken, about 45 minutes. Loosen the sides of the springform pan; let cheesecake cool before removing the rim completely.
