Description

These no-bake Easter Egg Cheesecake Jars are the perfect pastel-colored treat layered with creamy cheesecake filling, buttery cookie crust, and festive toppings—ideal for spring gatherings and Easter celebrations.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs (or digestive biscuits)

  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

For the Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip)

For Coloring

  • Food coloring in pastel shades (pink, yellow, purple, blue)

For Toppings

  • Mini chocolate eggs

  • Easter sprinkles

  • Whipped cream (optional)


Instructions

  • Prepare the Crust
    Combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a bowl. Stir until evenly moistened. Press a layer into the bottom of each jar to form the crust base.

  • Make the Cheesecake Filling
    Beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the whipped topping until fully incorporated.

  • Color the Filling
    Divide the cheesecake filling into four small bowls. Add a few drops of different food coloring to each bowl and mix until pastel shades are achieved.

  • Layer the Jars
    Spoon or pipe alternating colored layers of cheesecake filling over the crust in each jar. Continue layering until jars are full.

  • Chill the Jars
    Place jars in the fridge for at least 1 hour to allow the cheesecake to set. This also helps the flavors meld.

  • Add Toppings and Serve
    Before serving, top each jar with mini chocolate eggs, sprinkles, and a dollop of whipped cream for a festive finish.

Notes

For more vibrant colors without thinning the mixture, use gel food coloring. Soften cream cheese fully to ensure a lump-free filling. You can prepare jars 1–2 days in advance and add toppings just before serving.
