Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 325 F.
-
Prepare a 9-inch springform pan by buttering, then lining the bottom and sides with parchment paper.
-
Combine cracker crumbs with melted butter, then press this mixture firmly into the pan's base to form the crust.
-
Beat cream cheese with sugar, then add flour and beat again. Slowly mix in eggs to avoid excessive air.
-
Stir in eggnog and spices, then pour the mixture into the prepared crust and tap the pan to release air bubbles.
-
Place the cake pan into a larger baking pan containing 1 1/2 inches of hot water, then bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until firm with a slight wobble.
-
Cool on a rack for 20 minutes, then refrigerate for 2-3 hours, or preferably overnight.
-
Before serving, remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes in advance to reach room temperature, then grate nutmeg over the top.
