Ingredients
1 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup granulated sugar
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar, sifted
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup heavy cream, chilled
21 ounces strawberry pie filling
Instructions
Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar in a bowl until the texture resembles wet sand.
Divide the crust mixture among six small jars and press down firmly to create an even layer.
In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
In another bowl, whip the chilled heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling into the jars on top of the crusts.
Top each jar with an even layer of strawberry pie filling.
Refrigerate the jars for at least 30 minutes to allow them to set before serving.
Notes
Ensure the cream cheese is fully at room temperature to avoid lumps in your filling. For the best consistency, keep the heavy cream cold until the moment you whip it. These jars can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For a sophisticated touch, garnish with fresh mint leaves.
