If you enjoy the flavor of eggnog in the winter months, this is a must-try recipe. I am going to show you how to make this no-bake eggnog cheesecake with a gingersnap crust.
No-Bake Eggnog Cheesecake with Gingersnap Crust
This eggnog cheesecake is pretty easy to make. But it is a little softer than normal cheesecake. But the flavor packs a punch.
I made this with a gingersnap crust because the flavors mix really well together. Something about that spicy bite of ginger mixed with eggnog hits the spot.
However, if you are someone that does not care for gingersnaps (I know there are a few of you out there). This can be made with a normal graham cracker crust as well.

How To Make This Recipe:
In a food processor crush the cookies into crumbs. Then add in the butter and mix well. Pack the crumb mix into the bottom of a greased springform cheesecake pan.
We used a 7-inch pan. Deep ones like this one work best for this recipe.
After you have the crumb mix packed in, place in the freezer while you mix up the filling.
In food processor or with hand mixer beat cream cheese until soft. Then mix in the sugar, vanilla, and eggnog and mix until fully blended.
In another bowl whip the heavy cream and the rest of the eggnog together. Keep beating until it forms stiff peaks.
Now carefully fold the cream cheese mixture into the whipped cream mixture. You want to mix well. After you have it fully mixed you can pour it over the crust.
Place in the fridge to chill for one to two hours before serving.
Store in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze.
