Oops forgot to add that I also used some rum extract in the gelatin/water mixture... (maybe 1/2 tsp or so)

Made this for an office party and it was gone in no time with rave reviews. Next time though, I will use a little more butter in the crust mixture. I doubled the recipe for a 9x13 pan and the crust was a little too crumbly. Other than that it was awesome!!!

I have made this twice and enjoyed it thoroughly! Since eggnog is out of season now I am going to try it again using blueberry puree in place of the eggnog; hope it tastes as good as it sounds!

Made this last Sunday. My family loved it. Daughter requested I make another to bring for Christmas dinner. I drizzled carmal topping over each slice adding another dimension to the taste. I will be using this recipe next year for Thanksgiving too.

I want to make this but I don't want to use the eggnog. What could I use as a substitute?

This is a great recipe. If you don't use eggnog then you have defeated the whole purpose of the cheesecake. So why bother? There are plenty of other cheesecakes to make!

I would say go for it! I make cookies and desserts all the time and whenever I don't have something I just leave it out or add other stuff in this case I would recomend adding all spice and/or cloves. I generally will put cinnamon in as well but spice and cloves have less sweetness and more spicyness to them. Hope that helps!

I think I'll make this but don't like the nutmeg flavoring. Do you think cinnamon would work?

I generally use cinnamon in these type of recipes. In fact, I use a bit more than they say to use. We like the taste of cinnamon. Hope it works well! Blessings!
