Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, salt, and melted unsalted butter. Stir until resembling wet sand. Press firmly into the bottom of each jar.
- Pour cold heavy whipping cream into a chilled mixing bowl and whip on medium speed until medium-stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
- In another mixing bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until smooth and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Gently fold the whipped cream mixture into the cheesecake base in two additions until no streaks are visible.
- Incorporate gel food coloring if desired, mixing until the desired pastel shade is achieved.
- Fill each jar with the cheesecake mixture, leaving space for toppings, creating a layered effect.
- Cover each jar and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. For best results, chill up to 24 hours.
- Before serving, add toppings such as mini chocolate eggs, jelly beans, sprinkles, or shredded coconut.
