Sure! Here’s a simple recipe for making cheesecake in a jar:
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- Your choice of toppings (fruit compote, chocolate ganache, whipped cream, etc.)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 325Β°F (163Β°C). Place eight 8-ounce glass jars on a baking sheet.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter until well combined.
- Press about 2 tablespoons of the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of each jar, using the back of a spoon to pack it down.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and 1/2 cup sugar with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then add the vanilla extract and sour cream, and mix until smooth.
- Divide the cheesecake batter evenly among the jars, filling each about three-quarters full.
- Place the baking sheet with the filled jars in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheesecakes are set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Remove the jars from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, cover each jar with a lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until chilled and firm.
- Before serving, top each jar with your choice of toppings, such as fruit compote, chocolate ganache, whipped cream, or fresh berries.
- Enjoy your delicious cheesecake in a jar!
Note: You can also customize this recipe by adding different flavors to the cheesecake batter, such as lemon zest, cocoa powder, or peanut butter, to create various cheesecake flavors.
