#1,091: Strawberry Cheesecake Jars

Seriously, how cute are these?  Don't they look delicious?!  My kids LOVED these.  I was going to let Allison help me make them but it took her too long to get into the kitchen because she was singing Mama Mia on the I-pod and didn't want to take a break.  :)   Could this possibly be my child or what?!  The original recipe called for raspberries, but mine went bad and I didn't want to wait for our frozen ones to thaw.  So I just used strawberries instead.  Even 18 month old Matthew loved this!  It was messy, but worth it since he enjoyed it. 

1 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened

3 tablespoons honey (you could also use raspberry preserves or white sugar)

1/4 cup whole milk

zest from 1 lemon

2 cups fresh raspberries (I used strawberries)

6 graham crackers, crushed (about 1 cup)

6- 8 ounce mason jars

 

Using an electric mixer, combine the cream cheese, honey, milk and lemon zest until smooth. Layer in each jar: 6-7 raspberries, 2 tablespoons of cheesecake filling, and 2 tablespoons of crushed graham crackers. Repeat to fill the jar, then repeat with the remaining five jars. Serve immediately or store in the fridge for up to three days.
