Christmas season is upon us and that means two wonderful things - eggnog and baking! These Mocha Eggnog Cheesecake Bars are a delicious combination of a creamy filling with eggnog, toffee bits, coffee and cream cheese, baked over a scrumptious Oreo cookie crust!

Eggnog is such a popular holiday treat that I wanted to create an eggnog cheesecake recipe that could be a simple dessert for a baking tray, part of a holiday dessert bar or even an edible gift. This recipe was inspired by my Mini Eggnog Trifle (no bake), is very popular during the holiday season and is the perfect addition to your Christmas dessert tray! These creamy cheesecake bars are a nice change from traditional cheesecake.

🥘Ingredients

For these eggnog Christmas squares, you'll need:

  • Oreo baking crumbs
  • unsalted butter
  • white granulated sugar
  • brown sugar
  • light cream cheese
  • eggs
  • all-purpose flour
  • eggnog
  • instant coffee
  • cinnamon
  • toffee bits *I use Skor toffee bits
  • chocolate covered espresso beans (garnish)
  • powdered sugar (icing sugar)

See recipe card for quantities.

🔪Instructions

This eggnog cheesecake recipe is quick and easy. You pour a cheesecake mixture onto a simple baked Oreo cookie crust and bake for a few more minutes!

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 8X13-inch (lasagna) baking pan with non-stick cooking spray. Mix melted butter and Oreo baking crumbs together until well incorporated. Press into bottom of the pan.
  2. Meanwhile, heat eggnog for approximately1 minute in microwave, remove, then dissolve coffee granules in eggnog.
  3. Beat cream cheese with a mixer on medium speed until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add white granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, then eggnog mixed with coffee, flour, and cinnamon; beat until smooth. Fold in Skor bits.
  4. Pour cheesecake layer over crust. Bake until set 20 - 30 minutes. Cool for 15 minutes, then cut into 16 bars.

Garnish

Sprinkle powdered sugar, additional cinnamon and additional toffee bits on top. Place a chocolate covered espresso bean on top.

Hint: Use a cake tester (affiliate link) to be sure it's cooked through (it will come out clean). *25 minutes was ideal for me.

📖Substitutions & Variations

  • Lighten it! use fat-free cream cheese and light eggnog
  • Kid friendly - use decaffeinated coffee and skip the espresso covered coffee bean on top and substitute with a chocolate covered almond

🍽Equipment

For this eggnog recipe, you'll need an electric hand mixer or stand mixer and a 9X13 X 2 inch baking pan (affiliate links).
