No-bake cheesecakes served in jam jars

Ingredients

  • 1 cup ground Nyåkers gingersnap cookie crumbs
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 8-oz package of cream cheese
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 1/4 cup jam of choice
  • 5 10-oz jars or 8 6-oz jars for smaller servings

Directions

Step 1

In a food processor blend together the Nyåkers cookies and melted butter until finely ground. Set aside.

Step 2

Divide the crust mixture between your jars and gently press the mixture into the bottom of each jar.

Step 3

Using an electric mixer with a whisk attachment, whip the heavy cream into stiff peaks on medium-high speed, about 3-4 minutes. Set aside.

Step 4

Beat cream cheese, sugar, lemon juice and vanilla extract with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until combined.

Step 6

Evenly divide the cream cheese filling between the jars, then top with about 1/4 cup jam of your choice. We used Bonne Maman Strawberry Jam.

Step 7

Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.
