How to Make Super Easy Eggnog Cheesecake

  1. Trim pirouette cookies to 1 1/2 to 2 inch lengths and set aside. Crush the trimmed ends into crumbs.

  3. Beat 16 ounces (two 8-ounce packages) cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth.
  4. Gradually add 1 cup eggnog, 1/2 cup milk, 3.4 ounces instant vanilla pudding mix, 2 tablespoons rum (optional), and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, beating continuously until very smooth.
  5. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the graham cracker/cookie crust.
  6. Chill for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight.
  7. Remove from the refrigerator. Run a hot knife or metal spatula around the edges of the pan to loosen.
  8. Remove the sides of the pan.
  9. Gently press the reserved pirouette cookies onto the side of the cake, cut sides down.
  10. Garnish as desired with whipped cream and grated chocolate.
