Here's what you'll need for this yummy dessert:

Making these bars involves just a few easy steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a 9x13-inch pan with parchment paper.
  • Mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the pan for the crust.
  • Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggnog, flour, nutmeg, and vanilla while mixing.
  • Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Pour the cheesecake batter over the crust.
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the center is set. Let it cool, then refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
  • Slice into bars and serve, topping with whipped cream if you like. 😋

Notes

I've picked some tips to make these cheesecake bars even better:
For best results, ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature. It helps the batter mix without lumps.
Chill time is essential. The flavors enhance as it chills, and it’s easier to slice.
I like to sprinkle a little extra nutmeg on top for a festive touch. You can even add a touch of cinnamon if desired!
I hope you try making these! They’re a hit at every holiday party. Enjoy! 🥳
