Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine pitted cherries, pure maple syrup, fresh lemon juice, and a splash of water. Sprinkle in corn starch to thicken the mixture. Stir frequently and allow it to bubble gently for about 5-10 minutes until the sauce has thickened and the cherries are tender. Remove from heat and let it cool completely before assembling your no-bake cheesecake in a jar.
- In a large mixing bowl, start by beating softened cream cheese until it’s creamy and smooth. Gradually add in the plain full-fat Greek yogurt, pure maple syrup, and fresh lemon juice. Use a hand mixer on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is velvety. Set aside and refrigerate for a moment to allow the flavors to meld.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat or the microwave, being careful not to overheat. In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter with graham cracker crumbs until they are well combined and resemble wet sand.
- Take your mason jars and evenly divide the graham cracker crust mixture into the bottom of each jar. Pack it down gently using the back of a spoon, creating a firm base. Layer the creamy cheesecake filling on top of the crust, smoothing it out with a spatula.
- Once the cheesecake filling is in place, generously spoon the cooled cherry topping over each jar, making sure to cover the filling completely.
- Place them in the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour.
