Melted Cheesecake in a Jar

 Ingredients List

  • 1 ½ cups of Crushed Graham Crackers
  • 1/4 cup of Sugar
  • ¼ cup of Butter, Melted
  • 3 pkgs of 8oz Cream Cheese, Softened
  • 1 can of 14oz Sweetened Condensed Milk (NOT evaporated milk )
  • 3 Eggs
  • 2 Tsp Vanilla
  • 12 Half Pint Jars

 Directions


1. For the Crust:

2. Crush your graham crackers, if your kids want to get involved, now is the time!

3. Combine the crushed crackers with the Sugar and Butter. Press equal portions ( about 2 large spoonfuls ) into

4. the bottom of your jars.

5. Filling:

6. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until it's fluffy.

7. Slowly add the condensed milk until it's smooth. No lumps!

8. Now add the eggs and vanilla, and mix it well. At this point I indulge myself

9. and taste the batter, and I almost always add a touch more vanilla!

10. Scoop the batter into the jars, trying to equally distribute it. It came out to about 3 large spoonfuls each jar, don't fill to the top.

11. Now get out a deep baking pan or casserole dish, and fill with boiling water, you're going to give these filled jars a bath in the oven.

12. The water should be covering about half of the jar.

13. Bake them at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. You want them to still jiggle, but begin to pucker a bit. Don't look for a golden color, you shouldn't find it

14. {Take this time to clean, you'll thank yourself later.}

15. This is the hardest part of the whole recipe. Please, please be careful.

16. Carefully take the pans out of the oven. The water is boiling hot and it IS a balancing act.

17. Still with me? Hands intact? Ok good.

18. Take the jars out of the water right away and set them out to cool. I just put mine directly in the fridge, where they cooled overnight.

19. Once cooled, add any topping you like. I chose mini chocolate chips and raspberries.

20. I mashed up a few raspberries with sugar to make a

21. bit of jam and plopped the berries on top. Other ideas are oreos or cherries or really anything. You can also use baking cups instead of jars,

22. and it would make 24 mini cheesecakes. Enjoy!
