You HAVE to have INSTANT pudding mix (NOT stove top\/cooking pudding) and you HAVE to have WHOLE MILK or at the very least 2%, because it needs that fat to help it stand on its own, same goes for the heavy whipping cream (for those who do not know what that is, its 35% heavy whipping cream) you MUST whip it until stiff peaks form, then fold it in LIKE IT SAYS IN THE DIRECTIONS.

Very easy, very nice presentation.  I was leary about it not setting or the pudding mix not dissolving well, so I made sure to blend the cream cheese with the egg nog and milk very well before I added the pudding mix.  I had nice, stiff peaks on my whipping cream before folding it in, and it was setting up before I had it all poured into the pan. I didn't have a problem with my cookies staying in place.  I  tied it with a ribbon to prevent a problem, but two hours after cutting it, the cookies were still in place.  Several people thought they were stuffed cinnamon sticks though.  I was probably the only person who didn't care for it, I don't like the taste or aftertaste of instant pudding mix. Several people asked for the recipe, kids enjoyed it as much as the adults. There was less than a quarter to bring home, and we somehow ended up with three times as many desserts as we needed at the party. People had lots of dessert choices, but kept going back to this one.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":4,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2017-12-24","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"RedBottleOpener"},"reviewBody":"Yeah, NO! This does not taste like eggnog AT ALL! It is over glorified pudding! I beat the ingredients until they were so stiff it was almost like butter! Yet the thing sagged when coming out of the springform pan! The cookies held it together barely when tied with a ribbon. You have to serve with a spoon. To say it stands up like cheesecake must be from people who have low standards for dessert! It was prepared in a professional kitchen with professional equipment. I have made hundreds of cheesecakes and the amounts did not add up to the ratio of pudding mixture. There is no way this can stand up and be stiff enough to withstand travel or being able to be served like a traditional cheesecake. I will NEVER make this again, nor would I suggest this to anyone who has standards for dessert! Yes, I used instant pudding, yes I whipped it in a professional mixer with the whisk attachment and yes, I followed the recipe EXACTLY! No, it did not turn out well, no it did not stand up, no it did not taste like eggnog.

I get asked every year if I'm making it like children asking if I'm getting them presents. For the ones complaining about it being \"runny\", you need to make sure you're following the directions. Either you've added too much milk, didn't use a hand-mixer to fully blend the ingredients or didn't \"whip\" the \"heavy whipping cream into stiff peaks\" (seriously?). As for the flour taste, that probably comes from not blending the ingredients (it's the dry pudding mix that you're tasting). Once properly mixed it will have the consistently of thick pudding that hasn't fully set yet, then after chilling overnight it will set almost to a cheesecake texture. And another tip. Make the crust thicker, that way you can push the pirouette cookies down into it like building a fort, then put in the filling. That way you don't have to put the cookies on right before serving.

I let the mixture (cream cheese, pudding & milk) thicken, while I whipped the whipping cream until stiff peaks formed. And I folded it in the main mixture.  I was able to spoon the mixture into the pan. I refrigerated overnight, and the cake turned out great. It kept it's shape, and the cookies stuck right to it.

If it's super runny when you're pouring it in the pan then that's a sign it probably needs more mixing. Also make sure you whip the heavy cream into a whipped cream like texture before you add it in.

You must make sure you whip the heavy whipping cream into stiff peaks and that you do not use cooked pudding. I am pretty happy with the taste as I used traditional eggnog.
