How to Make an Eggnog Cheesecake Recipe
Take out parchment paper and cut it to match the bottom of the pan you are using and put it into the pan and spray the paper and sides with Pam.
Add the gingersnaps, sugar, and butter into a medium bowl and combine. Press into the pan and push up the sides about 1 inch in a 9-inch springform pan. Then, put it in the fridge and begin to make your filing.
Filling
Add the cream cheese, sugar, cream, and flour into a large bowl and beat on medium speed until light and fluffy.
Pour in the eggs, rum extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Then, beat again on low to combine.
Add the filling into the prepared pan.
Cook
Using a measuring cup add one cup of water to the bottom of the IP.
Place foil over the cheesecake and close off the edges. Put the pan onto the trivet and put the trivet into the pot. Close the lid and place on high pressure for 35 minutes. Let the pressure naturally release for about 10 minutes and then finish by manual release.
Take off the foil and let the cheesecake cool thoroughly.
Caramel Topping
Add in the water and caramel into a microwave-safe dish and heat in 20-second intervals until fully melted. Mix well and wait for it to cool before drizzling on top of the finished cheesecake.
Slice and place onto a serving dish and Enjoy!
What Does Eggnog Taste Like?
You may think because it is called Eggnog that it would taste like straight eggs. However, that is not the case in this recipe or for any eggnog. Eggnog has the taste and consistency of thick melted ice cream.
How Long is Cheesecake Good?
The length of time that your Eggnog Cheesecake is good for depends on how it is stored. If the cheesecake is stored in an airtight container and placed in the fridge it will last about a week. You can not store the cheesecake at room temperature because of the cream cheese and other ingredients that need to remain refrigerated.
