Ingredients
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs approx 8 sheets Graham Crackers
- ¼ cup butter melted
- 16 ounces cream cheese softened
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 21 ounces blueberry pie filling
Instructions
- To make the cookie base, process graham crackers in a food processor until they become crumbs (or add them to a ziplock bag and bash them with a rolling pin).
- Add the melted butter and process again until combined. (It will look like wet sand.)
- Add two heaping tablespoons of graham cracker crumbs to each jar. Pack down so that the graham cracker crust is in an even layer. Set aside.
- To make the cheesecake filling: Put the cream cheese powdered sugar and vanilla extract
- into a large mixing bowl. Beat briefly until the cream cheese and powdered sugar are combined. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, add the heavy cream and whisk until stiff peaks.
- Add the whipped cream to the cream cheese mixture and fold together gently using a spatula.
- Transfer the cheesecake mixture to a piping bag. Snip the end off with scissors then pipe the cheesecake mixture into the jars leaving a small space at the top for the blueberry pie filling.
- Top the cheesecake layer with pie filling.

Notes
-
- Since these cheesecakes are being served in jars they don’t require any setting time. They are super easy to make ahead and will firm up on refrigeration.
-
- If you’re not in the US or Canada digestive biscuits are the closest you will get to Graham Crackers.
- We recommend you use full-fat blocks of cream cheese (we used Philadelphia) for the best flavor. However, you can substitute low-fat cream cheese without any issues.
-
- We used heavy cream in this recipe. You can also use thawed frozen whipped topping. You will need 16 ounces for the cheesecake filling.
-
- If you don’t want to pipe the filling into the jars you can carefully add it using a spoon or cookie scoop.
- Feel free to substitute cherry pie filling in place of blueberry.
- You can omit pie filling and top the cheesecakes with fresh fruit. Strawberries and raspberries are great cheesecake toppings.
