No-Bake Lemon-Berry Cheesecake in a Jar

Quick and easy ?? No-Bake Lemon-Berry Cheesecake prepared and served in small mason jars. 

Independence day is coming up next week! Are you looking for an easy dessert to share with family and friends? Well, if you are I have you covered with these quick and easy No Bake Lemon-Berry Cheesecake in a Jar! 

I love these little cheesecakes because they're perfectly portable in small mason jars, making them an easy option to serve on your 4th of July cookout or barbecue. These little cheesecakes start with a simple, no bake graham cracker crust, a thick and creamy lemon cheesecake filling, topped with Lucky Leaf� Premium Mixed Berry & Strawberry Fruit Topping. 

When it comes to no bake desserts I need them to be simple and fuss free. That's why I love Lucky Leaf. All of their fruit fillings and topping are convenient, versatile, contain no high-fructose corn syrup and each can of fruit filling is packed with a lot of fruit.  

Since these cheesecakes are no bake you can have them ready to go in about an hour. Once assembled just twist the lid on each jar, refrigerate and pack in a cooler of ice. These mason jar cheesecakes transport easily to your barbecue or cookout.

I chose a mixed berry and strawberry fruit topping, but any Lucky Leaf, fruit topping can be used, so pick your favorite. Next on my list is red raspberry, cherry and lemon. I have included some step-by-step photos to show you how quickly this single serve cheesecake came together. Let's get started. 

To assemble the cheesecake, spoon 3 tablespoons of graham cracker crumbs in the bottom of an 8 ounce mason jar (packing down the crumbs).

Add 3-4 tablespoons of the lemon- cheesecake mixture on top of the graham cracker crumbs and level. 

Spoon 3-4  tablespoons of Lucky Leaf premium mixed berry or strawberry fruit filling over the cheesecake mixture (look at all that fruit). 

Repeat with the remaining mason jars.

Cover with the Mason jar lids and refrigerate until ready to serve. These single serve jars pack wonderfully in a cooler with ice. I hope you enjoy the recipe! ?
