Instructions

Make the Crust
- Mix everything listed under "Crust" ingredients.
- Place 12 muffin liners in regular sized muffin tray.
- Place 1 very heaping tbsp of crust mix in each muffin cup. Press it down either with your fingers or glass or a measuring cup. ⅓ measuring cup should fit just fine in the muffin cup.
- Bake it for 5-7 minutes.
- Take it out of the oven and let it cool down. While it is cooling down, make the filling.
Make the Filling
- In a standing mixture or a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, eggnog, all purpose flour, cinnamon powder, nutmeg powder and dry ginger powder until smooth.
- Once very well mixed, beat in brown sugar.
- Once very well mixed, beat in egg.
- Divide the filling mixture in 3 even parts.
- Mix green food color in one part. Place it in a zip lock bag or a piping bag.
- Mix red food color in second part. Place it in a zip lock bag or a piping bag.
- Place white part in a zip lock bag or a piping bag.
Bake the Cheesecake
- If using ziplock bag for the filling, make a small cut in one corner.
- Pipe all three colored filling evenly in each muffin cup on top of crust layer. Make sure you use all the filling evenly so you have enough for all 12 cups. Fill the muffin cups all the way to the liner edges. Do not overflow the liners.
- Use a chopstick or some sort of stick to mix all the colors in each muffin cup. Mix them just enough so that you see TieDye like pattern.
- Bake them for 15-17 minutes until they are still soft to touch, does not stick to your fingers and the top is matte looking (not shinny).
- Once baked, take them out of the oven and let them cool down completely before frosting them.
Frost the Cheesecake bites
- Mix everything listed under "Whipping Cream" in a standing mixture bowl. It is best if you have the standing mixture bowl cold.
- Start whipping the whipping cream mixture in a standing mixer or handy mixer until frosting holds stiff peaks.
- Frost the Cheesecake bites with the whipping cream. Refrigerate frosted Cheesecake bites for at-least an hour.
- Serve them cold!
