Excellent recipe! I had to cook it longer than the recipe called for (about 20 ~ 30 minutes longer) but it was well worth the work and the wait! Absolutely loved it!!

So creamy and delicious! Everyone loved it even those who aren't real fans of eggnog...has a light chai taste.

My husband LOVES cheesecake and LOVES eggnog; when I found this recipe I thought it would be a nice surprise for Christmas so I made it for him and it is his ALL TIME FAVORITE cheesecake. He is requesting this to be a new Christmas tradition. The only problem I had is the crust sticking to the bottom when you cut it, but that isn't a big deal. And I too had to bake it a little longer than called for but again... for this tasty treat it was well worth all the time and effort and especially to see the smile on my husbands face when he tasted it! Thank you Taste of Home!

Stupendous recipe! We made it with 1/3 less fat cream cheese and low fat eggnog and tasted amazing!

I love eggnog and I love cheesecake, so to put the two together and a delightful taste sensation.

Have made this twice now, baked for over 60 minutes and it was still not set in the middle. Was still very good. Family wants one every Christmas from now on.

Everyone loved this cheesecake, but I found I had to cook it much longer than called for in the recipe before it was done. I will definitely make it again. A real winner!

Dan,

Page 20 in the December Issue shows the Elegant Eggnog Dessert, not the cheesecake, and the recipe for the dessert is on page 21.

Page 20 in December Issue shows a fancy presentation of this Cheese Cake. Chocolate or Cinimon sticks?
