Step-by-Step Instructions for Eggnog Cheesecake
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Prepare a 9-inch springform pan by lining the bottom with parchment paper and wrapping it in aluminum foil.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg until sandy. Press into the bottom of the pan and bake for 10 minutes.
  3. Beat softened cream cheese for 2 minutes. Gradually add sugar and flour. Mix in eggnog, vanilla extract, and rum extract, then add eggs one at a time.
  4. Pour the filling over the crust. Place in a larger roasting pan, fill with hot water halfway, and bake for approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes.
  5. Turn off the oven and crack the door, allowing the cheesecake to cool for about an hour. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  6. When serving, unhinge the springform pan. Top with whipped cream and sugared cranberries.
