    If you are needing a holiday dessert that is easy and delicious, you will want to whip up this No Bake Eggnog Cheesecake. You will find the recipe super simple and your holiday guests (even the ones who do not care for eggnog) begging for the recipe.

    No Bake Eggnog Cheesecake - Even if you are not a fan of Eggnog, you will love this easy cheesecake. Perfect holiday dessert.

    I am a HUGE fan of no bake cheesecakes. I have shared our favorite No Bake Reese’s Peanut Butter Cheesecake as well as quite a few other all year round cheesecakes. During the holidays, offering up holiday flavors in our desserts always makes our holiday desserts so much better. After sharing our No Bake Peppermint Cheesecake with you last week, I needed a dessert for a family Christmas gathering. So a No Bake Eggnog Cheesecake was my potluck dessert.

    I had plenty of eggnog left after making a batch of our Eggnog Fudge so it sounded like a great plan. And… a great plan it was. This dessert has now been added to our list of favorite holiday desserts. Everyone loved it. There were a few that were not eggnog fans and they are now under the impression that eggnog is great when it is in this No bake Cheesecake.

    I had numerous requests for this recipe while at our family party. I have to admit that I was shocked at how such a simple recipe could taste so amazing. It is really that good. My kiddos and hubby loved it and decided that another one needed to be made for home. I actually have another I am working on today for this weekend.

    Even if you are not a fan of eggnog, I highly suggest you give this eggnog dessert a chance. You will be surprised at how tasty eggnog can be.

    This No Bake Eggnog Cheesecake only requires a few ingredients. You will need graham crackers (I used graham cracker crumbs to speed up the process), eggnog, cream cheese, heavy whipping cream, sugar, butter, and a couple spices. I considered using crushed ginger snaps for the crust and may eventually give that a try too. You could also use Cool-Whip instead of heavy whipping cream. I love the fresh stuff.

      This cheesecake is incredible! I made it for a small Christmas get-together and even the person who doesn’t like eggnog went back for seconds. It’s so good that I’m making it again for New Year’s for myself. My mom tried some and she wants to write the recipe in our holiday dessert cookbook, which hasn’t had a recipe added to it in at least a decade. Plus, it’s easy to make!

      I make this recipe every year for the family dinner. It’s a huge hit and everyone’s favourite. Never a disappointment. Sad that this year 2020 I won’t be bringing it with me to any dinners but I will still make it for my little family for our little dinner this year.

      Hi. I would like to try this with cool whip instead of heavy whipping cream and ready made graham cracker pie crust. Would that work instead if heavy cream and spring foam pan?

      I made this cheesecake for our christmas lunch 2019. It was an absolute hit. What a great recipe. I did however make a couple of changes. I added crushed gingerbread to the crust and in the filling I used 1 Tablespoon of rum instead of the extract. Also to make sure the cake set I added 1 tsp of powdered gelatine dissolved in a little hot water. I actually made this cake two weeks before christmas day and wrapped it well in foil (in the pan)then froze it. Removed it from the freezer early xmas eve morning and thawed it out in the bottom of my fridge. It turned out perfect on xmas day and saved me a lot of time and stress having this made ahead of time. Great recipe. Will make again for sure.

        Hi Mary! I have not tried the light eggnog for this recipe. I do not see why it would not work though. If you should make it with the light version, be sure to let us know.

      This recipe is excellent. I piped it into cookie cups I made out of a ginger-molasses cookie recipe I’ve always loved. The result was fabulous! Could bring tears to your eyes! I’m entering the cookies in an office holiday cookie competition tomorrow and I think everyone will love them! Thank you so much for such a beautiful, simple, delicious cheesecake recipe. There are so many things you can do with this recipe!

        Shannon, your cookies sound amazing! Ginger cookies are so good and complement the eggnog cheesecake flavors well. And, I love the cookie cup idea, too. I think we may try that next week when we make ours. I am so happy you enjoyed the recipe. If you happen to have the time to rate with a star rating, it’s much appreciated. Merry Christmas to you!

        Hi Tobi! If you should choose to make the cheesecake in a pie plate, I would cut the recipe in half. You will not need as much crust or filling to fill a pie plate. I hope that helps. Merry Christmas to you!

        Hi Suzy! Sorry for the dealy. If you are still planning to make the Eggnog Cheesecake, you can omit the rum if you choose. The extract does work well and keeps the dessert non-alcoholic. I hope your holidays are wonderful.

        The best-sized springform pan for the no-bake eggnog cheesecake is an 8 or 9-inch, both will work. I have made it with the two different sizes in the past. So sorry for the delay. Merry Christmas!
