How to Make Cheesecake in a Jar

Step-by-Step

PREP/PREPARE
Gather your ingredients.
Place a rack in the bottom position, and preheat the oven to 325f (165c).
Add the butter to the cookie crumbs.
Mix until combined.
Divide the crumb mixture between three or four small jars, and press into the bottoms.
Chef's Note: If you're looking for an excellent homemade chocolate cookie crumb base... Here ya go:

Add the cream cheese, sugar, and honey to a bowl.
Beat until thoroughly combined.
Add the egg and sour cream.
Continue to beat until the mixture is combined.
Divide the cheesecake batter between the jars.
Add the jars to a small, high-walled pan.
Place in the oven, and fill the pan halfway up with boiling water.
Chef's Note: By cooking the jars in a water bath, you're giving them a nice steady heat to cook in.
Bake until the cream cheese sets, about 20 to 25 minutes.
Chef’s Note: There will still be a bit of a jiggle in the centers.
Cover the jars, and cool in the refrigerator for 1 or 2 hours.
PLATE/PRESENT
Add your favorite topping, and serve. Enjoy.
Chef’s Note: If not serving right away, place the tops on the jars, and keep refrigerated.
Chef’s Tip: These make brilliant gifts around the holidays.
Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
