Ingredients

Scale

Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt (Greek yogurt works well)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Fruit Layer

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped

Crust Layer

  • 1 cup biscuit crumbs (graham crackers or digestive biscuits, crushed)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cheesecake Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, plain yogurt, and fresh lemon juice. Beat them together until the mixture is smooth and creamy to form the cheesecake base.
  2. Layer the Crust: Begin by adding a layer of biscuit crumbs at the bottom of each jar. Press down lightly to create a compact crust base.
  3. Add the Cheesecake Layer: Spoon the cream cheese and yogurt mixture over the biscuit crumbs evenly in each jar.
  4. Top with Strawberries: Add the chopped fresh strawberries on top of the cheesecake layer in each jar, spreading evenly.
  5. Chill the Jars: Place the jars in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours to allow the cheesecake to set and the flavors to meld.
  6. Serve: Serve directly from the jar chilled for a fresh and tasty dessert experience.

Notes

  • For added sweetness, consider stirring in a tablespoon of honey or sugar into the cheesecake mixture.
  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
  • The biscuit crumbs can be substituted with gluten-free biscuits if needed for dietary preferences.
  • Chilling time can be extended up to overnight for firmer texture.
  • These jars can be prepared ahead of time making them ideal for parties or meal prepping desserts.
