Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Pour melted unsalted butter over the mixture and stir until it resembles wet sand.
- Distribute 2 to 3 tablespoons of the crumb mixture into each jar, pressing down firmly.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until medium-stiff peaks form.
- Beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until smooth and fluffy.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture in two additions.
- Divide the cheesecake filling into bowls and tint each with gel food coloring, if desired.
- Fill each jar with the cheesecake mixture over the crust, leaving space for toppings.
- Cover the jars and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
