Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, ground nutmeg, and margarine in a bowl. Press the mixture onto the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, forming the crust. |

| 3 | In a separate bowl, combine cream cheese and sugar. Mix at medium speed using an electric mixer until well blended. |
| 4 | Gradually add the dissolved gelatin and eggnog to the cream cheese mixture, mixing until thoroughly blended. |
| 5 | Chill the mixture until it begins to thicken slightly, then fold in the whipped cream. |
| 6 | Pour the mixture over the prepared crust in the springform pan, spreading it evenly. |
| 7 | Chill the cheesecake until firm, preferably overnight for best results. |
| 8 | For a variation, you can increase the sugar to 1/3 cup, substitute milk for eggnog, and add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 3/4 teaspoon of rum extract to the mixture. Continue with the remaining steps as directed. |
