Ingredients
– 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
– ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
– 1 cup cream cheese, softened

Instructions
Creating No Bake Boozy Cherry Cheesecake Jars involves several simple steps:
1. Prepare the Crust: In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter until evenly combined. This will be your crust.
2. Layer the Crust: Spoon the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of each jar, pressing gently to create even bases.
3. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In another bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
4. Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold this whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to create a light and fluffy cheesecake filling.
5. Add the Booze: Stir in the cherry liqueur into the cheesecake filling for that boozy kick.
6. Layer the Filling: Spoon the cheesecake mixture over the graham cracker crust layer in each jar, filling just under the rim.
7. Top with Cherries: Add a spoonful of cherry pie filling on top of the cheesecake layer in each jar. Ensure the cherries are evenly distributed.
8. Chill the Jars: Place the jars in the refrigerator and allow them to chill for at least 2 hours, though overnight is best for improved flavor.
9. Garnish: Before serving, top each cheesecake jar with fresh cherries for an extra touch of elegance.
