Description

These delightful mini no-bake cheesecakes come in individual jars, making them perfect for parties or a sweet treat any time. A creamy, tangy filling made with cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, and vanilla sits atop a crunchy graham cracker crust. Easy to assemble and best served chilled, they offer a rich dessert experience in a cute, portable format.

Instructions

Prepare the Crust:
In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar (if using). Press about 1–2 tablespoons of the mixture firmly into the bottom of each clean, small jar (about 8–10 jars) to form an even crust layer.
Make the Filling:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the sweetened condensed milk, beating continuously. Mix in the lemon juice and vanilla extract until the filling is well combined and silky.
Assemble the Cheesecake Jars:
Spoon or pipe the filling evenly over the crust in each jar. Smooth the top with the back of a spoon or a spatula.
Chill:
Refrigerate the jars for at least 3 hours (or overnight) until the cheesecake filling is set.

Finish & Serve:
Before serving, top each jar with your choice of fresh berries, a dollop of whipped cream, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce, if desired.
