Ingredients
Cheesecake Filling:
- 8 oz (1 block) Cream cheese
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1/2 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Graham Cracker Crust:
- 1 cup Graham cracker crumbs
- 4 tablespoons Butter (melted)
Berry Compote:
- 2 cups Berries (fresh strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries)
- 1/4 cup Sugar (adjust based on berry sweetness)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
- Prepare the cheesecake filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
- Make the graham cracker crust: In a small bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of each mason jar.
- Fill the jars: Spoon the cheesecake filling into the jars, leaving room for the berry compote on top.
- Prepare the berry compote: In a saucepan, combine the berries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the berries break down and the mixture thickens slightly. Let the compote cool before spooning it over the cheesecake filling in the jars.
- Chill and serve: Refrigerate the cheesecake jars for at least 4 hours before serving. Enjoy!
