This no-bake eggnog cheesecake recipe is creamy, festive, and comes together in minutes with just a handful of ingredients. The perfect easy holiday dessert!
This cheesecake recipe begins by preparing a 6 ounce ready-crust graham cracker pie crust. Brush the unbaked crust all over with a beaten egg and bake it according to the package instructions for about 4 to 5 minutes. Allow it to fully cool before filling with the cheesecake mixture.
Use a stand mixer with a whisk attachment or paddle attachment or a large mixing bowl with an electric hand mixer on medium-high speed.
Add the ½ cup heavy cream and mix it until stiff peaks form. Stop, turn the mixer off, and remove the whipped cream from the mixing bowl into a separate large bowl. Set it aside.
To the mixer bowl, add the 8 ounces cream cheese and mix on medium speed until it is soft, creamy, and smooth. Add the ½ cup powdered sugar, ¼ cup eggnog, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon. Mix until combined.
Add the whipped cream back to the electric mixer bowl with the other ingredients and continue mixing until fully combined, creamy, and smooth.
Pour the filling into the prepared graham cracker pie crust, cover, and place it into the refrigerator.
Allow the eggnog cheesecake time to set in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours and up to overnight. Remove the creamy cheesecake from the refrigerator and use a sharp knife to slice it to serve. Enjoy!
