Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a bowl, combine gingersnap crumbs with melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the crust.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
Add the flour, eggnog, vanilla, and nutmeg, mixing until well combined.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring they are just incorporated without overmixing.
Pour the cheesecake mixture over the gingersnap crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 35–40 minutes, until the edges are set and the center is still slightly jiggly.
Allow the bars to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting into squares.
Serve with whipped cream, fresh raspberries, and garnish with sprigs of thyme for an elegant touch.

Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for best results. Do not overmix the eggs to avoid cracks.
