Instructions

Make the crust: In small food processor or blender, process graham crackers into crumbs. Transfer crumbs to bowl with melted butter, stir until crumbs are moistened. Add about 1.5 tablespoons or so to each jar, pressing into bottom with back of spoon; set aside.
Make cheesecake filling: In medium mixing bowl using an electric hand mixer, beat together softened cream cheese with sugar until light and fluffy. Add in yogurt, vanilla and lemon juice, mixing on medium-high speed until well combined. Mixture should be thick and smooth.
Assemble jars: Transfer cream cheese yogurt mixture evenly into the four jars, topping or layering with berries as desired. The cheesecake jars do not need to be chilled to enjoy right away, but if preparing ahead of time, refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

ADDED SUGAR – If using sweetened vanilla yogurt, taste test before adding granulated sugar.

DOUBLE THE RECIPE – Recipe easily doubles for 8 good-sized servings. Feel free to serve in tall dessert shooter jars for more servings.

STORAGE – Cheesecake jars will keep, covered, in the fridge for up to 4 days.
