    One sure way to know the Holiday season has begun is when you can finally buy eggnog in the grocery stores. In addition to making some awesome drinks, I love using eggnog to bake with. Some of my other favorite recipes using eggnog are Eggnog Fudge and Eggnog White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies.

Made with a homemade brownie crust topped with eggnog flavored cheesecake. The brownie crust is created with Holiday flavors of nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and cinnamon.

    Tips for making the perfect cheesecake squares.

    • I think the spice brownie crust is what makes these eggnog cheesecake squares irresistible, but if you want something a bit quicker you can use a simple graham crust or my recipe for Gingersnap crust.
    • Using a vanilla bean gives incredible vanilla flavor, but they are expensive and hard to find. One teaspoon of pure vanilla extract is a good substitution.
    • Use full fat cream cheese and make sure it is at room temperature before starting! Butter, eggs and eggnog should also be a room temperature.
    • What kind of eggnog do I use?  The full fat, gourmet style, to give a smooth creamy texture to the cheesecake.
    • When cutting into squares, wipe the knife clean with a damp cloth between slices.
    • Store covered in the refrigerator. You can also freeze these squares in airtight container.

      I want to make your Eggnog cheesecake squares for Christmas...the look divine! But I need to know if I can make them ahead of time and freeze them? I'm thinking yes since I occasionally freeze a cheesecake! I'd love to know for sure though! Thank you so much!

        Hi Dee, I have not personally froze this recipe, but like most cheesecakes it should freeze well.

      Instead of using the spices listed can I use pumpkin spice instead? If so how much?

      Hi,

      I’m planning of making these in a muffin tin as mini cheesecakes for Christmas. What would you recommend as bake times for both the cookie crust and the batter?
      I think 20 mins for the batter should work? I’m unsure about the crust.

      Thank you

      Hi I want o make the eggnog cheese cake bars, they look really good. Can I really get 16 servings from an 8x8 pan? Or is there. Different size pan I should use. thanks

        Hi Berny, I cut mine into 16 squares. These are not large pieces, basically 2 bite squares. For larger serving size I suggest using 9x13 pan and doubling the recipe.

      Hello, this looks amazing would this recipe work in an actual cheesecake pan or would I have to add more ingredients to make it into a cake?

      I increased the recipe to make a 13x9 pan and the crust baked fine, and the rest is in the oven now finishing the baking. It smells wonderful and has a perfect taste to it. Making it for Christmas, we'll see how fast it disappears.
