A lightened-up version of the classic cheesecake, this No Bake Cheesecake in a Jar offers creamy decadence without the guilt.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil or butter
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (or to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Fresh berries for topping (e.g., strawberries, blueberries)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with melted coconut oil (or butter) and honey (or maple syrup). Mix well until the crumbs are well-coated and resemble wet sand. Divide this mixture evenly among your jars, pressing firmly down to create a solid base.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until creamy. Add the Greek yogurt, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix until everything is well-blended and smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness if desired.
  3. Layer the Jars: Spoon a generous layer of the cheesecake filling on top of the graham cracker base in each jar. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to smooth out the top for an elegant finish.
  4. Chill: Cover the jars with lids or plastic wrap and place them in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to chill. This step allows the flavors to meld beautifully, creating a more delicious dessert.
  5. Garnish & Serve: When you’re ready to enjoy, remove the jars from the fridge and top with fresh berries. The addition of berries not only enhances the flavor but also adds a pop of color to your dessert.

Notes

Perfect for busy days or spontaneous gatherings. Can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
