Ingredients
  

Crust
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
Cheesecake Filling
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
Toppings (Optional)
  • 1 cup mixed berries
  • 1/4 cup chocolate shavings

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined.
  2. Divide the graham cracker mixture evenly among 4 small jars (about 8 oz each). Press down firmly to form the crust layer.
  3. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until smooth and creamy. Slowly add heavy cream and continue to beat until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  4. Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling over the crust in each jar, filling them almost to the top.
  5. Refrigerate the cheesecake jars for at least 2 hours, or until the filling is firm.
  6. Before serving, top with your favorite additions like fresh berries, chocolate shavings, or a drizzle of fruit sauce.

Notes

For best results, make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature to ensure a smooth, lump-free filling. You can prepare these jars up to 2 days in advance, storing them covered in the refrigerator. Get creative with your toppings; caramel sauce, chopped nuts, or even a different fruit compote would be delicious.
