Description
These no-bake Cheesecake Jars feature layers of buttery graham cracker crumbs, light Greek yogurt–cream cheese filling, and a bright berry sauce. They’re an easy, make-ahead dessert perfect for portioned treats or party-ready sweets.
Ingredients
- Berry Sauce:
- 1 cup blueberries (or fruit of choice)
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 packets Stevia (optional or other non-calorie sweetener)
- Graham Cracker Layer:
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
- Cheesecake Filling:
- 1/2 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
- 4 ounces whipped cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- Topping:
- 8 tablespoons whipped cream
- 4 teaspoons sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Make the berry sauce: In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, water, cornstarch, and Stevia. Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring often until thickened. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- Prepare the graham cracker base: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter and graham cracker crumbs until evenly moistened. Divide among 4 small jars and press lightly into the bottoms.
- Make the cheesecake filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, whipped cream cheese, and powdered sugar until smooth and fluffy. Spoon evenly over the graham base in each jar.
- Assemble the jars: Spoon cooled berry sauce over the cheesecake filling. Top with 2 tablespoons of whipped cream and 1 teaspoon of sprinkles per jar, if using.
- Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. Keep chilled until ready to enjoy.
Notes
- Use any berries or soft fruits for the sauce—strawberries, raspberries, or cherries work great.
- For a thicker filling, add extra whipped cream cheese or reduce yogurt slightly.
- To make sugar-free, use non-caloric sweeteners in both filling and sauce.
- Assemble without toppings if making ahead; add whipped cream before serving for best results.
- No jars? Use small glasses or containers with lids.
