Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
- 4 ounces white chocolate, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 cup fresh or thawed frozen raspberries
- 1/4 cup raspberry jam or preserves (optional, for layering)
Instructions
- Combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a bowl. Mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
- Divide the crumb mixture evenly among 4 to 6 small jars (about 8 ounces each). Press the crumbs down lightly to form the crust layer. Place jars in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until just combined.
- Fold in the slightly cooled melted white chocolate until the filling is uniform.
- Spoon or pipe half of the cheesecake filling over the crust layer in each jar.
- If using jam, add a small layer of raspberry jam over the first filling layer in each jar.
- Top with the remaining cheesecake filling.
- Place a few fresh raspberries on top of each jar for garnish.
- Cover the jars and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
Notes
- Use good quality white chocolate for the best flavor in the filling.
- If the white chocolate hardens too much before mixing, warm it slightly over a double boiler or in the microwave for a few seconds.
- You can substitute vanilla wafers or shortbread cookies for graham crackers in the crust.
- Chill the jars overnight for the firmest texture.
