Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Layer
- 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup (120 g) plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
Fruit Layer
- 1 cup (150 g) fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
Base Layer
- 1 cup (100 g) biscuit crumbs (such as digestive or graham crackers)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cheesecake Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, plain yogurt, and fresh lemon juice. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and well blended.
- Layer the Jars: Start by spooning a layer of biscuit crumbs at the bottom of each serving jar to create a crunchy base. Next, add a thick layer of the lemon cheesecake mixture over the crumbs. Follow this with a generous layer of sliced strawberries.
- Repeat Layers: Depending on jar size, you can repeat the layers to fill the jars, ending with a top layer of strawberries for an appealing presentation.
- Chill and Set: Seal the jars and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the cheesecake layer to firm up.
- Serve: Once chilled, serve the jars cold as a delightful, creamy, and fruity dessert.
Notes
- Use full-fat cream cheese and yogurt for a richer texture, or low-fat versions to reduce calories.
- For added crunch, toast the biscuit crumbs lightly before layering.
- Substitute strawberries with other seasonal berries like blueberries or raspberries if desired.
- Chilling time can be extended to overnight for better flavor development and firmness.
- Make sure to soften cream cheese to prevent lumps in the cheesecake mixture.
