Eggnog Cheesecake

This was so fantastic and so light, considering it was a baked cheesecake.
Ingredients
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs

  • 2 tablespoons white sugar

  • 3 tablespoons melted butter

  •  

  • 3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened

  • 1 cup white sugar

  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • 3/4 cup eggnog

  • 2 eggs

  • 2 tablespoons rum

  • 1 pinch ground nutmeg


  • (I did NOT add the rum and it was great)

    Directions


    Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

    In a medium bowl combine graham cracker crumbs, 2 tablespoons sugar and butter. Press into the bottom of a 9 inch spring form pan.

    Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes. Place on a wire rack to cool.

    Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

    In a food processor combine cream cheese, 1 cup sugar, flour and eggnog; process until smooth. Blend in eggs, rum and nutmeg. Pour mixture into cooled crust. (NOTE:  I used a hand beater and it worked just fine)


    Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes.

    Reduce heat to 250 and bake for 45 minutes, or until center of cake is barely firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and immediately loosen cake from rim. Let cake cool completely before removing the rim.

    Cheese Roll Ups

    This was just an off the cuff idea I had for yesterdays complement to the spaghetti dinner I made for the kids.  They loved it, so with that kind of review, I'm happy to pass it on. 10 inch cheese tortillas ricotta cheese garlic hummus medium hot salsa Spread ricotta cheese across the entire tortilla.  Then spread hummus across the ricotta.  In the center of the tortilla, leave about 2 tablespoons of the salsa in a line across the center.  Roll the tortilla up, keeping the mixture inside.  Place on a cookie sheet and bake in the oven at 350 for about 15 to 20 minutes.
