Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Filling
- 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (240g) plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup (60ml) fresh lemon juice
Fruit and Crust
- 1 cup (150g) strawberries, chopped
- 1 cup (90g) graham cracker crumbs
Instructions
- Prepare the cheesecake filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, and fresh lemon juice. Whisk or beat together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Assemble the jars: Take serving jars or small glasses and start by adding a layer of graham cracker crumbs at the bottom for the crust. Next, spoon a generous layer of the cheesecake filling over the crumbs. Top the filling with chopped fresh strawberries. Repeat the layering if space allows, ending with strawberries on top.
- Chill the jars: Place the assembled jars in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours to allow the cheesecake filling to set and the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled.
Notes
- Use full-fat cream cheese and yogurt for a richer texture.
- For added sweetness, you can mix in a tablespoon of honey or sugar into the filling if desired.
- Substitute strawberries with other fresh berries or fruits to vary the flavor.
- Make sure to chill the jars well to achieve the perfect cheesecake consistency.
- These jars can be made a day ahead, stored covered in the refrigerator.
