Cheesecake in a Jar

Recipe from Insanely Good Recipes

Ingredients

• 1 cup graham cracker crumbs

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

• 1⁄3 cup + 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided

• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature

• 2⁄3 cup plain full-fat Greek yogurt

• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold

• cherry, blueberry, or strawberry pie filling (for topping)

Instructions

• In a bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons of sugar until well combined. (The mixture should resemble wet sand.)

• Spoon approximately 2 tablespoons of the mixture into the bottom of 6 8-ounce Mason jars. Use a small glass to tamp down the crust.

• In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. (About 2-3 minutes.) Add 1/3 cup sugar, Greek yogurt, lemon juice and vanilla. Mix until well blended and no lumps remain.

• In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream to stiff peaks. Gently stir the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until combined.

• Transfer the cheesecake filling to a piping bag or large zip-top bag with the corner snipped off. Pipe the filling evenly into the jars over the crust, filling to just below the top of the jar.

• Refrigerate the cheesecake jars for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the filling to set up.

• When ready to serve, top each jar with a spoonful of cherry, blueberry, or strawberry pie filling. Serve chilled, and enjoy!
