6 servings
Servings4
½ cup (60g) graham cracker crumbs, about 8 graham crackers
1 teaspoon sugar
2 Tablespoons (30g) unsalted butter, melted
2 cups (250 ml) whipping cream, freshly whipped
1 block (8 ounces/225g) cream cheese, softened at room temperature
½ cup (60g) confectioners’ sugar
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons milk (any fat content)
Fresh mixed berries (here blueberries and chopped strawberries)
Fresh mint, for serving (optional)

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

1

Place the biscuits in a food processor and process into crumbs. Transfer to a bowl, add melted butter, sugar, and combine until moistened. Divide into the bottom of each jar.

2

In a medium bowl, beat the whipping cream with an electric hand mixer until light and fluffy. Set aside.

3

In a separate mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric hand mixer until fluffy. Add confectioners’ sugar, and beat until fully incorporated. Add lemon juice, beat until combined. Pour the milk, and beat again.

4

Fold in the freshly whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, using a rubber spatula. Fill a large piping bag with the mixture.

5

Pipe a layer of the cream cheese mixture evenly into the jars, add some berries, then repeat one more time (cream cheese, then berries again). Top with a few leaves of fresh mint. These no-bake cheesecake jars do not need to be chilled to enjoy right away, but if preparing ahead of time, refrigerate until ready to serve.
