Instructions
Making No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake Jars is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are well coated.
2. Layer the Crust: Spoon the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of each jar, pressing it down gently to form a solid layer.
3. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
4. Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cheese mixture until smooth and creamy.
5. Add Strawberries: Fold in the chopped strawberries (and lemon juice if using) into the cream cheese mixture. Mix until evenly distributed.
6. Layer the Filling: Spoon the cheesecake filling over the graham cracker crust in each jar, smooth it out to form an even layer.
7. Repeat Layers: If desired, you can add another layer of graham cracker crust followed by more cheesecake filling.
8. Chill: Cover the jars with lids or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the layers to set.
9. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, top each jar with additional chopped strawberries for an added touch of freshness.
These steps will guide you to create a delicious No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake that everyone will love.
