Strawberry Cheesecake in a Jar

17/11/2023

Strawberry Cheesecake in a Jar is a fun and practical idea for serving this delicious dessert. Here’s how to prepare it:

Ingredients

  • 250 g of digestive biscuits (or another type of your choice)
  • 100 g of melted butter
  • 250 g of cream cheese (such as Philadelphia)
  • 120 g of icing sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 200 ml of whipping cream
  • Fresh strawberries to taste
  • Strawberry jam to taste (optional)
  • Lemon juice to taste

Preparation

  1. Start by finely crushing the digestive biscuits in a food processor. Pour the melted butter over the crushed biscuits and mix until you have a homogeneous mixture.
  2. Take glass jars that are suitable for an individual portion and distribute the biscuit mixture at the bottom of each jar, pressing down lightly to form a compact base. Place in the refrigerator to set for about 30 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, prepare the cream cheese filling: in a bowl, combine cream cheese, icing sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat the ingredients with an electric mixer until you have a smooth cream.
  4. In another bowl, whip the cream until it is firm. Gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture with movements from the bottom up so as not to deflate it.
  5. Remove the jars from the refrigerator and fill each one with the cream cheese mixture, leaving a little space for the strawberries.
  6. Wash the strawberries, remove the stems, and cut them into pieces or slices. If you wish, you can also mix them with a little sugar and lemon juice and let them macerate for a few minutes.
  7. Place the strawberries on top of the cream cheese. If you like, you can add a tablespoon of strawberry jam over the strawberries for an extra touch of sweetness and flavor.
  8. Refrigerate for at least one hour before serving.

Curiosity

Cheesecake in a jar is perfect for picnics or as an “on-the-go” dessert. Additionally, the jars can be closed with lids for easier storage. Remember that you can vary the fruit according to the season or your personal taste.

I recommend using high-quality strawberries to ensure a fresh and genuine flavor for your dessert! Enjoy your preparation and bon appétit!
