Moderate Carb No-bake Cherry Cheesecake Jars
As summer winds down, it’s the perfect time to enjoy refreshing and easy-to-make desserts that capture the season's essence. These no-bake cherry cheesecake jars are a stellar example of moderate carb late summer fruit desserts, combining rich cheesecake with the sweet tartness of cherries in a convenient, individual serving.
Are there any variations to this recipe?
There are numerous ways to customize these cheesecake jars to fit your taste preferences. For a different twist, swap the cherries for other berries like blueberries, raspberries, or peaches, which add a fresh and fruity flavor. Instead of using Keto graham cracker crumbs, try alternatives such as crumble topping, shortbread cookies, or other Low-carb cookie varieties for a unique base. You can also enhance the cheesecake filling by incorporating different fruit extracts like orange, strawberry, or orange blossom to elevate the flavor profile.
Can this recipe be prepared ahead of time?
Yes, these cheesecake jars are excellent for making ahead. You can prepare them 1 to 3 days in advance. Layer the Keto graham cracker crumbs and cheesecake filling in the jars, then cover and store them in the refrigerator. To maintain a clean presentation, add the cherry topping just before serving to prevent it from mixing too much into the filling.
What is the best way to store leftovers?
Leftover cheesecake jars should be stored in the refrigerator, where they will keep for up to 3 days. For longer storage, these no-bake cheesecakes can be frozen. Ensure they are tightly covered before placing them in the freezer, where they can be stored for up to 3 months. When ready to enjoy, thaw the jars in the refrigerator overnight and serve.

1 h 20 min
Step 1
Add the keto graham crackers to a food processor and process until fine. Melt the butter in the microwave in a large bowl. Stir in the graham cracker crumbs and mix well until slightly sticky.Step 2
Spoon a generous amount of graham crackers into the jars. Set the jars aside.Step 3
Add the cherries to a sauce pan along with the water. Simmer on medium-low heat for 20 minutes until softened, then set aside to cool. Whip the chilled heavy cream until stiff peaks form using a hand mixer or a stand mixer. Set the whipped cream aside.Step 4
Beat the cream cheese, sweetener, sour cream, lemon juice, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy. Make sure to break down any lumps of cream cheese.Step 5
Using your mixer on low speed or a rubber spatula, fold the whipped cream into the cheesecake filling until combined. Combine gently so the whipped cream doesn’t collapse.Step 6
Layer a couple of large spoonfuls of filling on top of the graham cracker crust in the jars. Make sure you leave some room for the topping.Step 7
Chill the cheesecake jars until ready to serve. We found that adding the cherries too early will have the cherry juices seep down into the layers. So we recommend adding the topping soon when serving. Spoon the dark sweet cherries on top of the no-bake cherry cheesecake jars, then serve. Enjoy!
