Ingredients  

Crust:

Filling:

Topping:

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Scotch Whisky
  • ground nutmeg

Instructions

Crust:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Add Walkers Shortbread to a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form. You can also crush them by placing them in a large Ziploc bag and crushing them with a rolling pin.
  • Transfer crushed shortbread to a medium bowl and stir in sugar and melted butter, stirring until evenly coated and the mixture sticks together when pressed.
  • Transfer crust mix to a 9-inch springform pan and press the crumbs evenly into the bottom of the pan and about 1 to 1 1/2 inches up the sides.

Filling:

  • Beat cream cheese in a large bowl or stand mixer on medium speed until smooth, scrape down the sides.
  • Add eggs one at a time, beating between each addition, scraping down the sides as needed.
  • Gradually add in the eggnog and whisky.
  • Sift the confectioners' sugar, flour, and nutmeg together in a medium bowl, then fold it into the cream cheese mixture.
  • Pour filling mixture into the prepared crust.
  • Place springform pan in a larger baking dish and fill halfway up the pan with water.
  • Bake for 70 minutes.
  • Shut off the oven and bake for 60 additional minutes with the door closed.
  • Remove from the oven and transfer cheesecake to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  • Once cooled, transfer to the fridge to chill for 8 hours or overnight for best results.
  • Just before serving, whip the heavy cream, light brown sugar, and whisky until stiff peaks form.
  • Pipe onto cheesecake and dust with ground nutmeg.

Notes

  • The majority of the prep time is inactive cooling and chilling time.
  • If you are worried your springform pan may leak, follow this process to protect it.
