• Line a 9 x 13-inch (22 x 33 cm) baking dish with parchment paper.

• Add the eggnog mixture to the cream cheese mixture and mix until well combined, about 2 minutes.
• In a separate large bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream and remaining ½ cup granulated sugar together, gradually increasing the speed, until stiff peaks form, 6-7 minutes.
• Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the eggnog mixture. Refrigerate the remaining whipped cream until ready to serve the bars.
