Fireball Eggnog Cheesecake with Ginger Snap Crust.

I have loved Cheesecake since I was a little boy. But there is catch. I really only like a pure Cheesecake. By that I mean I’m not a big fan of flavoured Cheesecakes. Like pumpkin, chocolate swirl, blueberry swirl, etc. Until now. I will admit that I found the basic recipe on line. I have changed a few of the ingredients to my taste and less calories and found it awesome. Even if I do say so myself. I have not made a video on this particular recipe as it is so ridiculously easy. I hope you find this as decadent as I do!
