Cranberry Eggnog Cheesecake image

This was something I whipped up for Thanksgiving dinner. It came together so beautifully and is quite possibly the best cheesecake I've ever made! The eggnog is subtle but delicious and the cranberry is the perfect sweet/tart to enhance that eggnog flavor.

1 3/4 c crushed cookie crumbs (i used pecan sandies)

8 oz neufchatel cream cheese, room temp.
1/2 c sugar
1/8 tsp salt

This cheesecake was a little too sweet for my taste, but it was still good.
