Healthier No-Bake Cheesecake in a Jar
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup pitted cherries, halved
- 1 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp water
- 1 tsp corn starch
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2/3 cup plain full-fat greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 2–3 tbsp butter, melted
Instructions
- Add all cherry topping ingredients to a medium saucepan over medium heat. Saute for 5-10 minutes, gently stirring every couple minutes.
- Remove saucepan from heat and allow the cherries to cool while you prepare the cheesecake filling.
- In a medium mixing bowl, add softened cream cheese, plain greek yogurt, maple syrup, and lemon juice. Mix together using an electric hand or stand mixer for 2-3 minutes on high.
- Melt butter in the microwave. Add graham cracker crumbs to a small bowl and drizzle on melted butter. Stir until completely mixed together.
- Distribute the crust mixture evenly into six 125mL mason/jam jars. Pack down gently with your fingertips.
- Divide the cheesecake filling evenly amongst the jars. Gently tap jars down on your countertop to settle the layer.
- Top each jar with the cooled cherry topping. Serve immediately or refrigerate for at least 1 hour before enjoying.
