"Hi, I'm Jennifer Cail, and on behalf of expert village, I'm going to show you how to make this delicious, creamy, eggnog cheesecake. The first step for our eggnog cheesecake is to go over the ingredients that we'll need. First, we're going to need some graham crackers in order to make our graham cracker crust. With that, we'll need some butter, three tablespoons to melt to create the crust. We'll also need a little bit of sugar, both in the crust and in then in the main body of the eggnog cheesecake. We'll also need a little bit of flower, two eggs, of course, cream cheese. We'll be using twenty four ounces which is a pound and a half of cream cheese. And then last but not least, some eggnog. We'll be using three quarters of a cup of eggnog and you can certainly use pre-made eggnog for this. I don't know anyone who makes their own eggnog. And then if you want to add a little extra kick to your eggnog cheesecake, you can also add a little of rum. But for out purposes today, these are all the ingredients that we'll need."
