Ingredients

  • 1 (8) oz package original cream cheese room temperature
  • 1/4 cup eggnog
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp nutmeg

crust

  • 6 gingersnap cookies
  • 2 graham crackers
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp butter melted
  • 1 1/2 tsp brown sugar
  • pinch of salt

spiced vanilla bean whipped cream

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 Tbsp granulated sugar
  • seeds from 1/4 a vanilla bean
  • 1/8 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/8 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a mini cheesecake pan with baking spray. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a food processor, grind all ingredients for crust, except for the melted butter. The mixture should resemble slightly coarse crumbs. Remove mixture and pour melted butter over. Mix until crumbs are wet. Press into the bottom of each hole. Place in oven and bake for 10 minutes.
  • While crust is baking prepare filling beating together cream cheese, sugar, and eggnog until smooth. Add spices, vanilla, and egg. Mix until just combined. Fold in flour with spatula.
  • Pour filling over each crust, dividing evenly. Place in oven and bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and cool in pan for 20 minutes before removing cheesecakes (yes your cheesecakes will sink a little, this is normal).
  • Remove cheesecakes from pan using the bottom of a wooden spoon. Using a butter knife, remove metal bottoms and place cheesecakes in an airtight container. Refrigerate for 2 hours before serving.
  • While cheesecakes are cooling, prepare vanilla bean whipped cream by fitting a chilled mixing bowl into your stand mixer. Add heavy cream, sugar, scraped vanilla bean seeds, nutmeg and cinnamon. Using the whisk attachment beat on high for 2-3 minutes until stiff peaks begin to form. Return to refrigerator until cheesecakes are ready to be served.
  • To assemble top with a swirl of whipped cream.
