Ingredients
Scale
Before we start, gather the following ingredients:
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 2 cups cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped topping (e.g., Cool Whip)
- 1 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
Instructions
Creating these no-bake cheesecake jars is a breeze. Follow these simple steps:
- Prepare the Crust:
- In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter until well combined. This forms the crust of your cheesecake jars.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling:
- In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Incorporate the Whipped Topping:
- Gently fold the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture. Be careful not to deflate the whipped topping as this will help keep the cheesecake light and fluffy.
- Assemble the Cheesecake Jars:
- In each jar, start with a layer of the graham cracker crust.
- Add a layer of the cheesecake filling on top of the crust.
- Top with a layer of mixed berries.
- Repeat the layers until the jar is filled, ending with berries on top.
- Chill:
- Refrigerate the jars for at least 2 hours before serving. This allows the cheesecake to set and the flavors to meld together beautifully.
