Eggnog Cheesecake
1 can (13.5 oz.) Pepperidge Farm French Vanilla Pirouette Cookies
1/2 Cup graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup butter, melted
2 - 8 oz.packages cream cheese, softened
2 Cups cold egg nog
1 1/3 Cups cold whole milk
2 packages (3.4 oz. each) instant vanilla pudding mix
1/2 teaspoon rum extract (or vanilla or even almond)
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 Cup heavy whipping cream
Cut each cookie into two 2 1/2 inch sections; set aside. Crush remaining inch pieces. In a small bowl, combine cookie crumbs, graham cracker crumbs, and butter; press into the bottom of a greased 9 inch spring-form pan.
In a large bow, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add egg nog, milk pudding mixes, extract and nutmeg & beat until smooth; set aside.
In a separate bowl, whip cream until stiff peaks form. Fold whipped cream into pudding mixture and spoon over crust. Cover and refrigerate 6 hours or overnight. Prior to serving, remove sides of pan and arrange reserved cookies around cheesecake by pressing gently into the sides.
