Eggnog Cheesecake

... Could it be?! My two favorite things combined into one?! I'm trying to lose weight- but I'm so making this tonight....

Crust: (or just use a premade graham crust)
1 cup Graham cracker crumbs
1/4 tsp. Ground nutmeg
1/4 cup Sugar
1/4 cup butter, melted

Filling:
1 envelope unflavored gelatin
8 oz Cream cheese, softened
1 cup Eggnog
1/4 cup Sugar
1/4 cup Cold water
1 cup Whipping cream


Directions:

1. Combine crumbs, nutmeg, sugar, nutmeg and butter; press onto bottom of 9-inch springform pan.

2. Soften gelatin in water; stir over low heat until dissolved. Combine cream cheese and sugar, at
medium speed on electric mixer until well blended. Gradually add eggnog and gelatin, mixing until well blended.

3. Chill until slightly thickened then fold in whipped cream. Pour into crust; refrigerate until firm.

Awesome blog (I learned of it via Sarah K.). But seriously – you should really put warning labels on posts like this! :-)
