Delicious no-bake cheesecake jars with a graham cracker crust and fluffy cream cheese filling, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 cup heavy cream, cold
  • 8 ounces full-fat brick cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons sour cream, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Toppings & garnishes (your choice, such as fruit, chocolate sauce, or whipped cream)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your jars: Gather 6 clean 8-ounce jars or 10 clean 6-ounce jars. Make sure lids and rims are dry so the jars seal and stack nicely. For a neater presentation, chill jars briefly before filling.
  2. Make the crust: Melt the unsalted butter and pour it over the graham cracker crumbs. Stir until the crumbs are evenly moistened. Spoon the mixture into the jars and press lightly to form an even layer across the bottom.
  3. Whip the cream: Place the cold heavy cream in a mixing bowl and whip until stiff peaks form. Use cold equipment for faster, more stable peaks.
  4. Beat the cream cheese base: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the granulated sugar, sour cream, lemon juice, and vanilla until completely smooth and silky.
  5. Fold in whipped cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula until combined.
  6. Layer the filling: Spoon or pipe the cream cheese filling on top of the crust in each jar, leaving a small space at the top for toppings if desired.
  7. Chill: Refrigerate the jars for at least 30 minutes to let the filling set.
  8. Serve: Add desired toppings and enjoy.

Notes

For an elegant dessert without baking, these jars can be customized with various toppings.
