Ingredients

– 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
– 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
– 8 oz cream cheese, softened
– 1 cup powdered sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

– Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Creating No Bake Lemon Berry Cheesecake Jars is a delightful endeavor! Follow these simple steps to produce your delicious dessert:

1. Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until all the crumbs are coated nicely.
2. Fill the Jars: Place about 2 tablespoons of the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of each jar. Press down gently to form a crust.
3. Make the Filling: In a separate bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
4. Add Lemon: Mix in the lemon juice and lemon zest into the cream cheese mixture, ensuring a uniform flavor throughout.
5. Whip the Cream: In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated. This adds a light and airy texture.
6. Layer the Filling: Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling over the crust in the jars, filling them about halfway.
7. Add the Berries: Layer the mixed berries on top of the cheesecake filling. You can either gently press them into the filling or leave them on top for a more layered presentation.
8. Top It Off: Add more cheesecake filling on top of the berries until the jars are filled.
9. Chill: Cover the jars with lids or plastic wrap and place them in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the filling to set.
10. Garnish & Enjoy: Before serving, garnish with additional berries and a sprig of fresh mint if desired.

Enjoying the process of making No Bake Lemon Berry Cheesecake Jars is just as delightful as the dessert itself.
