Capture the flavors of your favorite creamy eggnog in these mini cheesecakes with a gingersnap crust and fresh raspberries. Invest in a mini cheesecake pan (with removable bottoms) for clean presentation or bake in muffin papers in your standard muffin pan.
Preheat oven to 160°C.
Lightly spray inside of mini-cheesecake pan with non-stick oil. If using a muffin pan, line up cups with paper liners.
Process cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor. Combine cookies and butter in a small bowl. Press 1 tablespoon cookie mixture into each cup in pan or liner and pat down firmly (for muffin tin press cookie mixture into paper liners).
Mix cream cheese, sugar, and flour in an electric mixer on low speed until blended, scraping down sides of bowl. Add eggnog, vanilla extract, nutmeg and salt and mix until blended. Add eggs, 1 at a time, on low speed until blended.
Divide batter among cups in pan. Bake 15 to 18 minutes (see note) or until edges are set and center slightly jiggles (cheesecakes will puff slightly above pan). Let cool completely. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or until chilled throughout.
To serve, carefully remove cheesecakes from pan and top each with 3 raspberries.
Note
If using a muffin pan and paper liners, bake cheesecakes 18 to 20 minutes.
