This delicious cheesecake recipe embodies Christmas. The flavors of eggnog and Kahlua blend to create a delectable holiday dessert. Rum and nutmeg add a rich, buttery, sweet flavor and then there's a bite from the spicy gingerbread crust. Caramel drizzled on top guarantees everyone will fall in love with this cheesecake at first bite.
Note: If you want to remove the cheesecake from the bottom of the pan, cut a round of parchment paper and put it on the bottom of the pan (before adding the crust ingredients) for easy removal.
