I have enjoyed making cheesecake my entire life. All kinds,
all varieties. People often get intimidated by it thinking it’s difficult, but
it really isn’t.
Cream cheese, eggs, vanilla, sour cream, sugar + any
additions you want to flavor it up (in this case egg nog!) poured over a crust
and baked to perfection.
If all goes well, you’ll have a creamy, smooth dessert that
people will swoon over.
There is one superior egg nog in our life and it’s AE Dairy’s Egg Nog.
As my youngest daughter says “please get egg nog at the store Mom, but only
that one brand in the gold carton that is the best”.
She’s not wrong!
It’s often been described as drinking a melted vanilla milk
shake…it’s perfectly spiced with nutmeg and has that classic custard like
flavor and texture. AE
Dairy has done things right.
I’ve used it in this holiday
dip and it regularly gets put in my hot morning coffee (a great swap for
creamer). I love how you can use it as a milk replacer in many things –
pancakes, muffins, cookies, etc.
These Egg Nog Cheesecake Bars are everything you want for a
fun holiday dessert. Cheesecake is a universal love for most and the addition
of egg nog in the filling will have people guessing….what’s in this
cheesecake?
The flavor is subtle, yet delicious.
They bake up easily, cutting into beautiful squares for your
guests with a pretty sprinkling of additional nutmeg on top. Feel free to top
with whipped cream too if you like!
This is a dessert that can easily be made a day or two ahead
and placed in the fridge to chill before serving. It keeps well and dare I say
it tastes better the next day?
Be ready for people to ask for the recipe – and watch their
smiles when they realize how easy it is to make.
Be sure to tag myself (@sweetsavoryeats) and AE
Dairy (@aedairy) when
making these this holiday season. We’d love to see your creations, and we’ll be
sure to share the photos.
A big thanks to AE
