Let’s Put Together Our Mini Eggnog Cheesecakes
Step 1: Let’s Make the Crust
One of my favorite things about this recipe is that instead of the classic graham cracker crust, we use Biscoff Cookies!
Crush your Biscoff Cookies with a Rolling pin or food processor.
Next, Add melted butter and brown sugar and stir to incorporate.
Finally, add cookie crumble to the bottom of the ramekins or the bottom of the jars or ramekins.
Step2: How to Make the No-Bake Cheesecake Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until you have a creamy cream cheese mixture.
Next beat in the eggnog, run or vanilla, nutmeg and cinnamon until creamy.
In a separate small bowl Whip heavy cream on medium speed until stiff peaks form (about 3-4 mins)
Fold whipped cream into your eggnog mixture.
If you are using Ramekins:
Use an ice-cream scoop or large spoon to add your filling into the ramekins.
Spread your mixture evenly over the crust.
Refrigerate until ready to serve
Sprinkle crushed cookies or nutmeg over the top .
If you are using Jars:
Add your cheesecake mixture to a large piping bag.
Cut off the top and pipe your cheesecake mixture into jar
Shake lightly to help the cheesecake settle over the crust.
Make sure that you add more cookie crumble than cheesecake.
Repeat until the jar is full.
Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Sprinkle crushed cookies or nutmeg over the top
***Using Graham crackers, Nilla Wafers and Golden Oreos would all be superb crust pairings for the eggnog cheesecake.
Hopefully this no bake dessert becomes one of your favorite holiday desserts!
