Instructions
 

  • To make the cheesecake combine ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar zest of one lemon 2 packages cream cheese, 8 oz each, 2 large eggs; ¼ cup heavy cream and 1 ½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract into a bowl. You will need a mixer to blend these until smooth.
  • Next, to make the crust I would place the gram crackers in a gallon size closed bag. Then you roll the rolling pin over them. If you want to pull out your blender that works as well.
  • You place the graham crackers in the bottom of the jar. Then you pour in the cheesecake. Then you place them in the refrigerator for 2 hours or until the cheesecake sets. Then apply the fruit topping of your choice.
  • You can top these with chocolate or whipped topping.
