This was one of the best (and biggest!) cheesecakes I have ever baked. Has a delicious flavor without tasting too noggy...will most definitely be doing this one again!

I make all kinds of cheesecakes, now this one is not my fave, but it gets the most requests. I use bacardi rum and a graham cracker crust. bake it at a slightly lower temperature, and it comes out purrfect. The Eggnog taste is not strong enough, but the flavor is excellent and rare. That's probably why everyone loves it so much.

This cheesecake tastes horrible, it tastes mostly like rum.....just plain nasty.....I really don't understand why there are not tons more complains about it.

this is a good cheesecake, but it doesn't take like eggnog. I was expecting more of an eggnog flavor from a receipe that said "eggnog cheesecake". I also did a rasberrry drizzle with it that went well (frozen rasberries with sugar and thawed and blended).

actually the recipe does mention what exact oven temp to use.

Warning: make sure you turn the oven down from 375 when you put the cheescake in... the recipe doesn't specify this. So i didn't, and 30 minutes into baking, the edges turned almost too brown and the center not even close to being set. i had to use a shield for the rest of the baking time. I hope its still good.

This is the most wonderful cheesecake recipe. My family cannot wait until I make another and another and another. My boss says it's the best cheesecake she ever tasted....and she's from New York City. The recipe is easy, easy, easy. Try it, you'll love it!!!!
