These were a spur of the moment cookie, because I love the flavor of eggnog, and I was craving eggnog, but I don’t like drinking it.
Eggnog Cheesecake Bars
- 1 1/2 c. graham cracker crumbs
- 3 oz. butter
- 2 1/2 packages cram cheese, room temperature
- 1 1/4 cups sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 1 T. rum
- 3 eggs
- 3/4 cup eggnog (the real stuff, not the light version)
- 2 T. flour
- nutmeg
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Melt the butter and stir it into the graham cracker crumbs.
- Line a 9×13 pan with foil and pat the butter/crumb mixture evenly over it.
- Bake for 10 minutes.
- Beat the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and rum until smooth.
- Beat in the eggs, then the eggnog, and finally the flour.
- Pour the mixture over the baked crust and sprinkle the top with nutmeg.
- Return the pan to the oven until it is set. This will take about 30 minutes.
- Chill thoroughly before cutting.
I can bear witness to the deliciousness of these bars! I share the love of the eggnog taste, but not to drink, too.
