Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper and grease the sides.
- In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted salted butter, granulated sugar, and ground nutmeg. Press into the bottom of the pan and bake for 10 minutes, then let cool.
- Lower the oven temperature to 300°F (148°C). In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until creamy, then mix in flour.
- Add eggnog and ground nutmeg, mixing well until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, folding them in gently, then pour over the cooled crust.
- Place the springform pan in a larger roasting pan, fill with hot water to halfway up the sides, and bake for 90-100 minutes until the center is just set but still jiggly.
- Turn off the oven, crack the door, and cool for 30 minutes. Then refrigerate for 5-6 hours or overnight.
- Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and a splash of eggnog until stiff peaks form.
- Slice and serve the cheesecake chilled, topped with whipped cream and a sprinkle of ground nutmeg.

Notes
Ensure cream cheese is softened for easier mixing. Use a water bath to prevent cracks and allow the cheesecake to cool gradually.
