Egg Nog Cheese Cake

This recipe is from the Royal Crest Dairy newsletter, so delicous!

Ingredients:
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
3 tbl melted butter
1 cup + 2 tbl white sugar
3/4 cup egg nog
3 (8 oz.) packages cream cheese, softened
3 tbl flour
2 eggs
1 pinch nutmeg
1/4 cup of chocolate chips - melted for top

Directions:
Preheat oven 325 degrees. Combine graham cracker crumbs, 2 tbl sugar and butter. Press into bottom of a 9 inch pie pan. Back in preheated oven for 10 minutes. Cool. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Combine cream cheese, 1 cup sugar, flour and egg nog, process until smooth. Blend in eggs and nutmeg. Pour mixture into cooled crust. Back in preheated oven for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 250 and bake for 45 minutes or until center of cake is barely firm to touch

Once cake is cooled, drizzle chocolate on top for yumminess and decoration (I added this part onto mine and it was so good).

I actually bought a store bought crust and there was enought for extra pie filling. I used the extra for cheese cake cupcakes and made the graham cracker crust for the bottom of the cupcakes cutting the recipe in half. It made about 8 cupcakes.

Enjoy!
