No bake cheesecake jars are a a laugh person dessert to serve while you’re quick on time and don’t experience like turning at the oven. There’s literally no baking involved and the entire dessert takes around half-hour. You only want a handful of acquainted elements and some adorable little jars. character desserts had been all the rage the beyond numerous years and this mason jar dessert trend isn’t disappearing any time soon.

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 Tablespoons (30g) unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup (100g) graham cracker crumbs (about 8 graham crackers)
• 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream or heavy whipping cream, cold
• one 8-ounce block (224g) full-fat cream cheese, softened to room temperature
• 1/3 cup (65g) granulated sugar
• 2 Tablespoons (30g) sour cream, at room temperature
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• toppings & garnishes (see note)

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Have your jars ready to go and lined up. This recipe yields about 6 8 ounce jars or 10 6 ounce jars.
2. Crust: Melt the butter in the microwave in a medium heat-proof bowl or use the stove. Stir in the graham cracker crumbs. The mixture will resemble wet sand. Spoon a generous spoonful into each jar, about 2 Tablespoons into the 8 ounce jars and 1 and 1/2 Tablespoons into the 6 ounce jars. If there’s any crust leftover, sprinkle into the jars to use up or discard. Set jars aside.
3. Filling: Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whip the cold heavy cream into stiff peaks on medium-high speed, about 3-4 minutes. Set aside.
4. Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a whisk or paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese, sugar, sour cream, lemon juice, and vanilla extract together on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy. Make sure there are no large lumps of cream cheese. If there are lumps, keep beating until smooth.
5. Using your mixer on low speed or a rubber spatula, fold the whipped cream into the cheesecake filling until combined. This takes several turns of your rubber spatula. Combine slowly as you don’t want to deflate all the air in the whipped cream.
6. Layer a couple large spoonfuls of filling on top of the crust in the jars. Use about 1/4 – 1/3 cup filling in the 8 ounce jars and 3 Tablespoons (or however much you can pack in!) into the 6 ounce jars. Make sure to leave room for the topping.
7. The cheesecake jars are at room temperature at this point, but if you’d like to serve chilled, chill for at least 30 minutes and up to 3 days before adding the topping. (Cover if chilling for longer than 30 minutes.) I recommend adding the topping when serving or up to 2 hours in advance. The topping can seep down into the layers, so that’s why I recommend adding it soon before serving.
8. Spoon topping and garnishes on top of filling, then serve.
9. Cover and store leftover cheesecake jars in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
