I have made this recipe using chocolate cookie crumbs for the crust and that is as yummy as the graham cracker crust. Very easy to make and keeps very well.

How To Make eggnog cheesecake bars

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 9-inch square baking pan with cooking spray.

Step 2

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.
Step 3

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.
Step 4

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.
Step 5

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.
Step 6

Cut into 1 1/2-by-3-inch bars. Lightly dust tops of bars with freshly grated nutmeg just before serving.
Step 7

NOTE: Bars can be refrigerated for up to 5 days.
