Single-serving cheesecakes made in glass jars are adorable and easy mini alternatives to their full-size cousins. They bake in just half an hour and can be cooked a few days ahead of time.

Yield Makes 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
3 large eggs, room temperature
4 ounces sour cream (1/2 cup)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Salt
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon fruit preserves or jam
1/2 cup finely ground graham crackers (from 4 crackers)
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Make the cheesecakes: Beat cream cheese with a mixer on medium speed until smooth. Add sugar. Beat on medium speed for 3 minutes more. Reduce speed to low. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Raise speed to medium. Add sour cream, lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Beat for 3 minutes.
  • Divide batter among six 6-ounce jars, filling each two-thirds full. Transfer jars to a deep baking dish; add enough boiling water to dish to reach halfway up the sides of the jars. Cover dish with foil; cut 8 slits into top to vent. Bake until set in the center, about 25 minutes. Let cool. Refrigerate overnight to set.
  • Meanwhile, make the graham topping: Stir together graham-cracker crumbs and butter. Bake on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 10 minutes. Let cool.
  • Top each cheesecake with 1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons preserves. Divide graham topping among jars (about 1 heaping tablespoon each).

I had some trouble getting the cheesecakes out of the jars. I think I'll use a different type of jar next time.

These mini cheesecakes are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I added some fresh berries to the top of the cheesecakes before I baked them. It gave them a beautiful pop of color and flavor.

I'm not a big fan of graham cracker crust, so I used a chocolate cookie crust instead. It turned out great!
