ELIZABETH'S EGGNOG CHEESECAKE BARS



Elizabeth's Eggnog Cheesecake Bars image

"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.

Yield Makes 18

Number Of Ingredients 13

Vegetable oil cooking spray, for pan
12 graham crackers, finely ground (1 1/2 cups)
3/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons sugar
2 ounces (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
1 pound cream cheese, room temperature
2 large eggs
1 large egg yolk
3/4 cup eggnog
1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon brandy
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg, plus more for dusting
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 9-inch square baking pan with cooking spray. Stir together graham crackers, 3 tablespoons sugar, and the melted butter. Press into bottom of pan. Bake until crust is just brown around the edges, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool.
  • Meanwhile, beat cream cheese with a mixer on medium speed until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the remaining 3/4 cup sugar, the eggs, yolk, eggnog, flour, brandy, vanilla, nutmeg, and salt; beat until smooth. Pour filling over crust. Set pan in a roasting pan, and add enough hot water to come halfway up sides of baking pan. Bake until just set, 40 to 45 minutes. Remove baking pan from water bath, and transfer to a wire rack. Let cool slightly, about 30 minutes. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.
  • Cut into 1 1/2-by-3-inch bars. Lightly dust tops of bars with freshly grated nutmeg just before serving.

Categories     Desserts

Time 3h40m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

18 oz danish butter cookies
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
5 tablespoons melted butter
16 oz cream cheese, room temperature
1 ¼ cups granulated sugar, divided
¼ cup sour cream
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 teaspoons rum extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup vanilla-spiced eggnog
½ oz gelatin powder
½ qt heavy whipping cream

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!

HOLIDAY EGGNOG BARS



Holiday Eggnog Bars image

During the festive holiday time one drink I love is Eggnog and when I came upon this recipe I just had to try it. If you love Eggnogg then these bar cookies will be a tasty treat. They are easy to make and store in the refrigerator. They keep for a short time but that shouldn't be a problem because they will go quickly. They remind me of a custard pie. This is another recipe and pic from my small Christmas magazine of Betty Crocker's.
