Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 1 1/2 cups cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy cream, whipped

For the Toppings:

  • Fresh berries, fruit compote, or chocolate sauce (optional)

Instructions

  1. Make the Crust: In a small bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until combined. Divide the mixture evenly among 6-8 small jars or glasses, pressing it down to form the crust layer.
  2. Make the Filling: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Fold in the whipped cream until fully incorporated and fluffy.
  3. Assemble the Jars: Spoon the cheesecake filling over the crust in each jar, smoothing the tops.
  4. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the jars for at least 2 hours to set. Before serving, top with fresh berries, fruit compote, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce as desired.

Notes

  • You can substitute the graham crackers with Oreos, digestive biscuits, or gingersnaps for variety.
  • The cheesecake jars can be made a day ahead and kept in the fridge until ready to serve.
  • Customize with your favorite toppings like caramel sauce, crushed candy, or lemon curd.
