I absolutely love Papa’s eggnog but unfortunately, I don’t have permission to share it with everyone, yet. This cheesecake has not been tested with his recipe but it has been tried with other store-bought kinds and it is wonderful!

I remember learning to make this on a wood stove when I was young. We had to be really careful not to let it get too hot and scorch or the whole thing would ruin… I miss those days!

The warmth in our bellies would help us get up the hill but we were always happy to see the old bus come clanking down the dirt road.
This is probably my favorite hot cocoa recipe although it does take a little bit of time and patience to make it… that just seems to make it better though.
