How to Make Cheesecake in a Jar
- 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:
Ground Chocolate Cookie Wafer Base - 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.
