No-bake cheesecake jars
Base (optional) – Combine the crumbs with melted butter and divide between the prepared jar or bowl. Then, press down with the back of a spoon.Pro tip – I usually omit the base. (it is a great way to make the dessert a little healthier)
Combine – In the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, on medium speed, combine the cream cheese and sour cream until smooth. Then, add the powdered sugar, followed by the salt, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.Pro tip – Do not overbeat the cream cheese as it can separate. Whip – Next, add the heavy cream and continue to whip on medium speed until it is light and fluffy with soft peaks. Taste and adjust sweetness and flavor.Pro tip – If necessary, add 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar. Alternatively, you can add 1 tsp of additional lemon juice to cut down the sweetness. Filling – Divide the cheesecake mixture between the prepared jars or bowls making sure to leave enough room for the fruit filling and garnishes. Level the mixture with a spoon.Pro tip – I prefer to use a piping bag to help fill the jar but you can also use a spoon to fill the jars.
Chill – Once you’ve filled all of the jars, it’s time to let them set in the refrigerator for at least two hours or until firm.Pro tip – These can be made up to 2 days ahead and kept in the refrigerator. Top – When you’re ready to serve, remove the jars from the refrigerator and add your favorite pie fruit filling or toppings. Today, I have used strawberry pie filling, blueberry pie filling, and crumble to top my cheesecake jars.Pro tip – The options to top your cheesecake jars are endless. Try, caramel sauce, butterscotch sauce, lotus biscoff, Nutella, chocolate sauce, etc. Decorate – I added some fresh strawberries, blueberries, and mint leaves to garnish.
