Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350&# 194;°F (177ðC) if baking the crust, or simply prepare a 9-inch springform pan for a no-bake crust.
  2. Cut the top off each chocolate cookie to create flat pieces for the garnish; set these aside.
  3. Crush the remaining cookie bottoms into fine crumbs using a food processor or a rolling pin in a bag.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine the cookie crumbs, graham cracker crumbs, and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  5. Press the crumb mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the springform pan to form a solid crust.
  6. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese on medium speed until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
  7. Gradually add 1 cup of eggnog to the cream cheese, beating on low speed until fully incorporated and smooth.
  8. Add the remaining 1 cup of eggnog, buttermilk, dry pudding mix, rum, and ground nutmeg to the bowl.
  9. Beat the mixture on medium-high speed for 2 minutes until thickened and well blended.
  10. Carefully pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  11. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until the cheesecake is firm.
  12. Run a knife around the edge of the pan and remove the springform ring.
  13. Top the cheesecake with whipped cream and arrange the reserved cookie pieces around the edge for garnish.
  14. Slice and serve chilled, keeping any leftovers refrigerated.
