These no-bake cheesecake jars are a quick and easy dessert perfect for any occasion. With a creamy filling and customizable toppings, they’re sure to be a hit with everyone!
Combine the cookie crumbs and butter until thoroughly mixed. Divide among six jars with a 6 to 8 ounce capacity.* You'll use just over 2 & 1/2 tablespoons per jar. Press the crust mixture into the bottoms to make an even layer, but don't compact it too much.
Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the confectioners’ sugar, and mix until thoroughly combined and smooth.
In a separate bowl, whip the cream and vanilla to stiff peaks with an electric mixer with a whisk attachment.
Fold about a quarter of the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Then gently fold in the remaining whipped cream, taking care not to deflate the whipped cream.
Spoon the cheesecake filling into the jars, and smooth the tops. You'll need roughly just over 1/4 cup of filling per jar. (Be sure to leave space for toppings!)
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Add your desired toppings before serving.
