We are officially ONE WEEK away from Christmas!!! How excited are you?!

We don’t go overboard with the gifts and I was actually starting to second guess myself. Should we buy more presents for the girls? Should we make sure the presents are overflowing from under the tree? Is that what it’s all about?

Yesterday, I got to go with my daughter on her school field trip to the Overture Center for the Arts to watch A Christmas Carol. I don’t know why but I wasn’t expecting much. .  I was just happy to have the morning off and spending it with my daughter and her classmates.

Now, if you know me, you know I can get emotional sometimes . . yes, when my heartstrings are pulled, watch out and pass me a kleenex. And if it involves sick kids or something worse, pass me the entire box. Well, needless to say, I was crying watching A Christmas Carol. The performance was beautiful and the message behind the story came at just the right time for me. I kept turning to my daughter, wondering how much she was soaking in and actually understanding. Seeing how little Bob Cratchit’s family has, yet how thankful and happy they are.

It’s a lot to take in for a 7 year old I would imagine. .  watching each ghost (Ghosts of Christmases Past, Present and Yet to Come) visit Ebenezer Scrooge and thinking about what must be going through his mind, all the regret, all the sadness, wishing he could go back in time and re-do so many things. But, of course, I love the end of the story when Scrooge is transformed into a kind and giving man.

It’s funny how things work . . the timing of everything. .  I needed to be reminded of this message and the true meaning of Christmas for me.

This Christmas will be about spending time with my family, being thankful for what we have and family traditions. Family traditions for us includes baking.  . and a lot of it. My husband and I love eggnog . . I think there’s something so magical about it. .  the fact that it’s seasonal and mainly comes out over the holidays. It’s something that a lot of people love and enjoy over the holidays.

Since my husband and I love eggnog and cheesecake, I decided to bake a Cinnamon Eggnog Cheesecake! And I should mention that because I fell in love with my gingersnap cookie crust for these babies, that I made the cheesecake today with a gingersnap cookie crust. I may never go back to an Oreo or graham cracker crust for the holidays.

You guys. .  this cheesecake is amazing.  You get a hint of eggnog, a hint of cinnamon and a hint of gingerbread. I love it!!! My husband, who usually just takes a few bites of my sweet treats (because I bake so much), ate the entire slice and went for a second.

Cinnamon Eggnog Cheesecake

Prep Time25 mins
Cook Time1 hr
Total Time1 hr 25 mins
Course: Dessert
Servings: 10
Author: Hip Foodie Mom

Ingredients

For the crust:

  • 1 box 16 oz store bought gingersnap cookies
  • 4 to 6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted + more for coating the pan

For the cheesecake:

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 4 8-ounce packages cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup eggnog
  • 1 large egg yolk at room temperature
  • 4 large eggs at room temperature

For the chocolate ganache:

  • 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate chopped
  • 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chopped
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions

For the crust:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F and grease or spray your springform pan. Pulse the gingersnap cookies in a food processor to make fine crumbs. Add the melted butter (start with 4 tablespoons and add more melted butter if needed) and pulse until combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of your 9 x 3-inch springform pan with removable bottom. Bake for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool completely.

For the Cheesecake:

  • In a small bowl, combine the sugar and flour and set aside. Using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese on medium speed until smooth. With the mixer running, slowly pour in the sugar/flour mixture and beat until incorporated. Stop the mixer occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl and the paddle as needed.
  • With the mixer on low, add in the vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon and salt and then slowly pour in the eggnog; mix until just combined. Add the egg yolk, then the whole eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to incorporate completely before adding in the next. Stop the mixer occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl and the paddle as needed.
  • Pour the filling into the prepared crust, tap to remove any bubbles, and bake until the edges of the cheesecake are browned and the center is barely set, for about 60 minutes. Turn OFF the oven and leave the cheesecake in the oven for 1 hour.
  • Remove the cheesecake from the oven and place on a cooling rack. Once cooled, you can make the chocolate ganache and serve, or, you can refrigerate or freeze for a day or two until ready to enjoy.

For the chocolate ganache:

  • Place the chopped chocolate in a small bowl and set aside. Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook until small bubbles appear on the outside edge of the cream. Pour the hot cream mixture over the chocolate. Using a wire whisk, gently stir from the middle out, until all of the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth. Allow the chocolate ganache to cool just slightly and then pour over the top of the cheesecake.

    I’ve been grappling with the same thoughts, Alice. My nephews, nieces and my best friends’ kids get tons of toys and presents all year long. I feel like a scrooge just buying them each one small toy at Christmas but then I remind myself that 1) they are already super fortunate 2) it’s the thought that counts and 3) spending time together is the real gift this time of year. I’m so glad that you enjoyed the performance and knowing how loving, wonderful and sensitive you are, I’m not surprised at all that the show touched you so deeply. And damn, lady, this cheesecake is amazing! Look at that perfect dense texture and that perfect graham cracker crust and that perfect thick glossy layer of ganache! I would inhale this if it were in front of me!

    I’m so glad you got to watch the performance with your daughter and her class, that sounds like a wonderful time. I love the message behind A Christmas Carol and we always look forward to watching it on TV every year. We are the same way with gifts for our son and now our daughter this year. He already has so much and gets enough presents from his grandparents, aunts and uncles. Spending time and making wonderful memories is what counts to us 🙂 Love this eggnog cheesecake Alice, it looks absolutely beautiful! The gingersnap crust and creamy eggnog sound amazing together!

    Hi Alice! This looks wonderful, and so unique which I adore! I live in Australia so could you please describe the gingersnap cookies to me a bit so I can find something similar? Here in Australia there are two types of gingerbread biscuits – one is quite crisp (so they literally make a “snap” noise when you break them – I suspect this is probably the most similar based on name!) and the other is softer, more like the density of choc chip cookies. Thanks very much for your help!

      Hi Nagi!!! For this crust, I would use the quite crispy ones . . when pulsed in a food processor, they make for a great crust!!! the store bought ones here in the US are probably very similar to the crisp gingerbread biscuits you described! I love Australia . . do you follow Girl in a Food Frenzy? She’s in Sydney!

    That cheesecake looks absolutely amazing! I love that ganache flowing off the top of it, such a neat picture. And the gingersnap crust! That sounds so much better than the graham cracker kind! Especially with eggnog cheesecake! Have a great Christmas!

    I *love* this cheesecake, Alice! I’ve been a recent eggnog convert (for years I thought I hated it?) so this is looking just so good!! Plus that gingersnap crust is to die for!!

    Cinnamon, eggnog, cheesecake, gingersnap AND chocolate?! I love all it!

    A Christmas Carol gets me every time. I feel as I get older, the meaning of Christmas often gets lost in all the hustle and bustle. It’s nice to be reminded every so often of the true spirit of the holiday. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family!!

    Please adopt me? I know I’m old enough to be your grandmother but hey, it could work. I’d even keep my room clean. Just make this cake every week. 🙂

    Merry Christmas!

    My family has started a tradition where we each pull someone’s name out of a hat and buy that person one good, decent present. It is so much less stressful! Of course this wouldn’t work with kids probably, but it is great for the adults 🙂 THis cheesecake looks delicious, love all the flavors you have packed in there! Looks perfect for a holiday party!

    Beautiful Christmas thoughts, you better pass me a box of Kleenex. Better yet, pass the cheese cake and I’ll cry into my eggnog. GREG

    This cheesecake looks amazing! It is so thick and smooth! And that ganache on the top? Perfection! Love your thoughts on the true meaning of Christmas. It is so nice to be reminded of that every now and again. The Christmas Carol is a wonderful way to pass that message on to the next generation!

    What a good reminder of the reason for the holidays – to be with family and friends. And to be following through with traditions. This cinnamon eggnog cheesecake is a tradition I could surely get behind. I hope you have a lovely Christmas with your girls!

    I made this cheesecake this past week. The filling and ganach topping were delicious. I used 16 ounces of ginger snaps for crust along with 4 tablespoons of butter but the crust was way to dry to adhere to sides of pan. When I removed the springform the crust kinda just fell. Next time I will add more butter, or use less gingersnaps. Any thoughts?

      Hi Mary! Thanks so much for the comment!!!! Was your butter melted? The amount of gingersnaps would be fine. . I think adding more melted butter wouldn’t hurt and I will also add this to the recipe card just in case, “plus more butter for coating the pan”. Thank you so much for the comment!!!
