ELIZABETH'S EGGNOG CHEESECAKE BARS
"I was raised in a Jewish family in Los Angeles, so I didn't celebrate a white Christmas," Elizabeth Colling says. But there was always eggnog. She worked the holiday drink into cheesecake bars, dense on the bottom, silken on top. She spikes them with brandy for a grown-up taste and dusts them with fresh nutmeg.

Steps:
- Line a 9 x 13-inch (22 x 33 cm) baking dish with parchment paper.
- Make the crust: In a food processor, pulse the cookies into coarse crumbs. Add the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and pulse into fine crumbs, about 2 minutes. Add the melted butter and pulse until the mixture clumps together, about 10 pulses.
- Pour the crust into the prepared baking dish and press evenly against the bottom of the pan. Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes, until set.
- Meanwhile, make the filling: in a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and ¾ cup granulated sugar together with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until smooth, 3-4 minutes.
- Add the sour cream, cinnamon, nutmeg, rum extract, and vanilla and beat until incorporated, 2-3 minutes.
- In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, microwave the eggnog for 30-45 seconds, or until just warm to the touch. Add the gelatin powder and whisk until dissolved.
- Add the eggnog mixture to the cream cheese mixture and mix until well combined, about 2 minutes.
- In a separate large bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream and remaining ½ cup granulated sugar together, gradually increasing the speed, until stiff peaks form, 6-7 minutes.
- Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the eggnog mixture. Refrigerate the remaining whipped cream until ready to serve the bars.
- Evenly spread the filling over the crust. Lightly tap the pan on a flat surface to release any air bubbles. Refrigerate uncovered for 3-4 hours, until set.
- Use the parchment to lift the bars from the pan and slice into 12 pieces. Top with the reserved whipped cream, if desired.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- 1. Crust: Mix 1 stick of melted butter with 2 Cups of Brownie Brittle crumbs. Press into a greased 9 x 13 pan and Bake for 8 min at 350°
- 2. Mix cream cheese, sugar, flour, eggnog, and eggs together. Add chocolate chips. Pour over crust.
- 3. Bake at 350° for 35 minutes.
- 4. Cool - then sprinkle nutmeg on top.
Tips:
- Use full-fat cream cheese for a richer and creamier cheesecake.
- Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing it with the other ingredients. This will help to prevent lumps in the cheesecake.
- Gradually add the sugar to the cream cheese mixture. Adding it all at once can cause the cheesecake to curdle.
- Beat the eggs one at a time into the cream cheese mixture. This will help to prevent the cheesecake from becoming too runny.
- Pour the cheesecake batter into a greased and floured springform pan. This will help to prevent the cheesecake from sticking to the pan.
- Bake the cheesecake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 hour, or until the center of the cheesecake is set.
- Let the cheesecake cool completely before refrigerating it. This will help to prevent the cheesecake from cracking.
- Serve the cheesecake with your favorite toppings, such as whipped cream, fruit, or nuts.
