Graham cracker crust and a whipped cream cheese filling layered in half-pint jars. They chill for a few hours and make six individual cheesecakes, topped just before serving.

Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs (can use gluten-free) about 7 full crackers
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon sugar optional

Filling

  • 2 8 oz blocks cream cheese softened
  • ¾ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice optional
  • 1 cup cold heavy whipping cream

Optional toppings

  • Fresh fruit pie filling crushed cookies, caramel or chocolate drizzle

Directions

  • Crust: stir together the crumbs, butter, and sugar, then press 2–3 tablespoons firmly into the bottom of each jar.
  • Filling: beat the cream cheese until smooth, then add the powdered sugar, vanilla, and lemon juice and mix until creamy. Whip the cold cream to stiff peaks and fold it in.
  • Spoon or pipe the filling over the crust until the jars are about ¾ full, then smooth the tops.
  • Seal and refrigerate for 2–4 hours, until set.
  • Put toppings on just before serving.
