Needhams and Eggnog Cheesecake


As mentioned in a previous entry, I made Needhams for Christmas. For those who don't know what a Needham is, it's essentially a sweet coconut filling, coated in chocolate. The filling also has butter, salt, milk, and.... mashed potatoes. Don't knock it til you try it, they're delicious.







Last Christmas I made Eggnog Cheesecake for my extended family's annual party. People liked it so much that I was told I would officially be in charge of bringing it every year. So, of course, I had to make it this year. And, once again, it was a big hit.
The filling is eggnog flavored, the crust is made from crushed gingersnaps, and a sprinkling of nutmeg on top.
