Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup eggnog
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the flour and 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Pour in the melted butter and mix until well combined and crumbly.
  3. Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and 1/2 cup granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
  5. Beat in the egg until just combined.
  6. Stir in the eggnog, vanilla extract, nutmeg, and cinnamon until the filling is smooth.
  7. Pour the cheesecake filling over the baked crust and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
  9. Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  10. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting into bars.

Notes

  • For an extra festive touch, garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg before serving.
  • These bars can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
