Eggnog/Eierlikör Fan or not? That is the question here ;) There is not much in between! Either you like it or you hate it. Me, myself and I are huge fans of it, that’s why we try to incorporate eggnog/Eierlikör wherever possible. For example in these delicious Eggnog/Eierlikör Cheesecakes for Easter. I think with these cheesecakes you can convince people to come to the yellow side of life (instead of the dark side, u know?) :P
I love a good cheesecake. If it’s made with eggnog or Eierlikör, it’s even better. Not too much though, they need just a hint of that flavor. If the flavor is too strong, you can’t eat much of it… and we don’t want these cheesecakes to go bad. If you get one of the glasses, it’s your job to empty them completely ;)
The cheesecakes are very easy to prepare – like most of the stuff you bake in glass jars. The base is made with cookie crumbs – very easy – and the filling is also made in no time. There is not much that can go wrong here. The cheesecakes are normally not even getting cracks on top because of the small surface, so the result is neat little cheesecakes that are ready to be served in the glasses directly. Add some melted chocolate or whipped cream and Easter decorations and you can make a whole bunch of people happy at your Easter brunch.
The recipe can be easily made for a whole football team, just multiply the ingredients prepare the glasses and bake in batches (would not bake more than 6-8 at the same time in a regular oven). For a buffet, I also recommend to go bit smaller in size so everybody can eat more of the other dishes :P
Oh and don’t look too long at the pictures. The spirals will start to move at some point and make you dizzy… or maybe hypnotize you saying “eat meeee!” :P

Notes
- Enjoy baking!
I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake - for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers - and it seems they like it most of the time ;)
