No Bake Cranberry Eggnog Cheesecake
Cranberry Eggnog Cheesecake combines two of the most popular flavors of the holidays. A classic graham cracker crust is the base. Then a layer of cranberry jam is spooned onto it, followed by a light, almost mousse-like, eggnog flavored cream cheese topping.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 5 oz graham cracker crumbs
- 2 oz salted butter
- 7 oz cranberry jam
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 4 oz eggnog
- 16 oz heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Grind up the graham crackers if not pre-ground. Use a food processor (quickest) or place them in a sealable bag and break them up using a rolling pin. Add melted butter to the cracker crumbs. Blend well together and transfer into a deep pie dish. Even out the bottom and sides.
- To 'set' the crust or base, either put the pie dish in a preheated 350 degree F oven for 8 minutes OR place it in the fridge for 1 hour.
- Spread the Cranberry Jam evenly over the bottom of the crust.
- Whip the cream cheese in a bowl until smooth and creamy. Pour in the eggnog.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until peaks can be formed. Using a metal spoon, add the whipped cream to the bowl containing the cream cheese and eggnog.
- Fold the whipped cream into the cheese mixture (refer to 'Instructions' section for more information how to fold.)
- Decorate the Cranberry Eggnog Cheesecake with fresh and sugared cranberries and sprigs of rosemary.
