Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
- 4 ounces white chocolate, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (for raspberry layer)
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until combined. Divide this mixture evenly among 4 to 6 small jars, pressing lightly to form a base layer. Place jars in the refrigerator.
- Make the raspberry puree: Combine raspberries, lemon juice, and granulated sugar in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes until soft. Mash slightly and strain through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds, if desired. Cool completely.
- Prepare the cheesecake filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
- Fold in the cooled, melted white chocolate until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Assemble the jars: Spoon or pipe one-third of the cheesecake filling over the crust layer in each jar.
- Spoon a layer of the cooled raspberry puree over the filling.
- Top with another layer of cheesecake filling.
- If you have remaining puree, swirl a small amount on top for decoration.
- Chill the jars for at least 4 hours, or until firm, before serving.
Notes
- For a smoother texture, ensure your cream cheese is fully softened before mixing.
- You can substitute digestive biscuits for graham crackers if needed.
- Make these up to one day ahead for easy party preparation.
