Festive little cheesecakes that are smooth and creamy and taste just like the eggnog we all know and love!

Eggnog Mini Cheesecakes

My Mom really worked at mastering these Mini Eggnog Cheesecakes for you! The first time she made them the crust seemed a little thick, so she made them again with a thinner crust and the cheesecake sunk in the middle. The women in my family don’t give up so she made them a third time with less graham crackers but a thicker layer of them and it was perfect!

She saved you the hassle and took the time to experiment with this recipe so we could bring you a perfected final product! This isn’t the only one she has been working at, she also made these Grinch Mini Cheesecakes, Mini Peppermint Cheesecakes, Mini Pecan Pie Cheesecakes, and Mini Pumpkin Cheesecakes, too!

What You’ll Need for the Crust:

• 1 1/2 cups Graham Cracker Crumbs
• 4 tbsp Sugar
• 4 tbsp Butter, Melted

How to Make Mini Eggnog Cheesecakes

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a muffin tin with liners and set aside.
