Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup eggnog
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: Whipped cream and extra nutmeg for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the flour and 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Cut in the softened butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the crust. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and 1/2 cup granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
  5. Beat in the egg until well combined.
  6. Stir in the eggnog, vanilla extract, nutmeg, and salt until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
  7. Pour the cream cheese mixture evenly over the prepared crust.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
  9. Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  10. Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan. Cut into squares.
  11. Garnish with whipped cream and a sprinkle of nutmeg, if desired.

Notes

  • Ensure your cream cheese and butter are at room temperature for a smooth batter.
  • Do not overmix the cream cheese filling once the egg is added.
  • Allow the bars to cool completely for clean cuts.
