Step-by-Step Instructions for Eggnog Cheesecake
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, sugar, and nutmeg. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan and bake for 10 minutes.
  3. Lower the oven temperature to 300°F (149°C). Beat the cream cheese until smooth, then gradually mix in sugar and flour until combined.
  4. Stir in eggnog and ground nutmeg gently until smooth.
  5. Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined. Pour the filling over the cooled crust.
  6. Prepare a water bath by placing the springform pan in a larger roasting pan filled with hot water halfway up the sides.
  7. Bake for 1 hour and 30–40 minutes. Check occasionally to ensure the water bath remains filled.
  8. Cool gradually in the oven for 1 hour, then cool at room temperature for 30 minutes before refrigerating.
  9. Beat heavy cream, eggnog, and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form for the topping.
  10. Once chilled for at least 5-6 hours, remove from pan and garnish with nutmeg and pearl sprinkles before serving.
