Holiday Dessert Recipes

The holiday season is my favorite time of year because I get to make my favorite holiday dessert recipes.

I love making sweet treats for family and friends. I have a very close family, and we celebrate all the holidays together.

My family expects me to make a dessert for our family holiday dinners. 

If I don't make a family favorite dessert recipe they expect a dessert recipe that is awesome and fitting for the holidays.

Vanilla Bean Cheesecake and Key Lime Cheesecake are delicious.

Eggnog Dessert recipes

This Holiday Eggnog Cheesecake recipe is a cheesecake recipe I have wanted to try for a long time.

I have a base cheesecake recipe that I love and have used to make two other flavors of cheesecake this past year.

I knew it would be easy to change it up a bit to make an eggnog flavored cheesecake.

The cheesecake base recipe is a thick, dense, and rich cheesecake very much like a New York style cheesecake.

To make it extra special, easy to serve and fun for the kids I decided to serve it this time in mason jars.

Desserts in a jar are perfect for the holidays!

Helpful Tips for Holiday Eggnog Cheesecake In a Jar recipe

  • You will need 16 six-ounce mason jars and lids or a nine-inch springform pan.
  • If using jars wash and dry jars and lids.
  • Dry jars and lids completely before filling.
  • If using a springform pan, grease pan well, and line bottom and sides with parchment paper.
  • You will also need a large cookie sheet and a deep roasting pan to bake the cheesecake in a water bath.
  • Prepare jars or springform pan before beginning the recipe.
  • There are two important ingredients when it comes to cheesecake: cream cheese and eggs. Eggs play a very important role in baking. They help hold all the other ingredients together.

How to make Eggnog Cheesecake

First, make the graham cracker crust; fill the bottom of the jars with ¼ of a cup plus 1 tablespoon of the graham cracker crust.

If using a springform pan, pat all of the crust mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan.

Fill each jar with ¾ to 1 cup of cheesecake filling. Do not over-fill the jars or the eggnog cheesecake will rise over the edge of the jar.
If using a springform pan pour the filling into the springform pan, smoothing the top with an offset spatula.

Fill all of the jars and place them into the roasting pan that has been placed on top of a sturdy cookie sheet.

Depending on the size roasting pan you have you may have to bake the Eggnog Cheesecakes in the jars in two separate batches.

My pan only held 12 jars. Divide the jars evenly if you need to bake them in two batches.

Boil a large pot of water and pour the boiling water into the roasting pan, around the jars until it comes about halfway up the sides of the jars.

Carefully put the cheesecakes into the oven. Bake for 30 minutes, rotating the tray halfway through the cooking time.

Allow the eggnog cheesecakes to cool in the water bath for about 10 minutes, and carefully lift them out and place them on a wire rack to cool completely.

 Once cool add the flat lid and band to the jars.

Chill before serving.

    Hello. Love this idea! I was wondering if this recipe can be made in smaller mason jars? Like the 4oz ones. If so, would you know the baking time?

      Hi Kathy

      Yes you could make this recipe in the smaller mason jars. Since I haven't tried it myself I do not know the baking time. But if I was going to try it I would start checking at about 10 minutes and watch it very carefully. As soon as the center is set I would remove them from the oven.

    Arlene, these look fabulous! I am sure they taste great as well. What a great idea to serve them in mason jars. Really adds to the presentation. Also I have to say I am such a big fan of eating the batter, I really appreciated your tip on pasteurized eggs.
