But honestly, thanks to this simple recipe, I just know everyone will become an eggnog believer.
Those subtle hints of vanilla and nutmeg give such deeper flavors to the velvety cheesecake.
Just one note: the nutmeg is only needed depending on the brand of eggnog you use. So make sure to check the label before you add any.
