Ingredients:

For the Cheesecake Base:

  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup powdered erythritol
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered erythritol
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

For the Cherry Topping:

  • 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen cherries, pitted and halved
  • 2 tablespoons powdered erythritol
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Optional Garnish:

  • Chopped nuts or shredded coconut

Instructions:

Step 1: Creating the Cheesecake Base

In a bowl, combine almond flour, melted butter, powdered erythritol, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until the ingredients form a crumbly texture. Press this mixture firmly into the base of your jars, creating a delightful almond-flour crust.

Step 2: Preparing the Cheesecake Filling

In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered erythritol and vanilla extract until smooth. In a different bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, creating a luscious and airy cheesecake filling.

Step 3: Assembling the Jars

Spoon the cheesecake filling onto the almond-flour crust in each jar, ensuring an even distribution. Smooth the tops with a spatula for a polished finish.

Step 4: Crafting the Cherry Topping

In a saucepan, combine cherries, powdered erythritol, water, and lemon juice. Simmer over medium heat until the cherries release their juices and the mixture thickens. Allow it to cool before spooning the cherry topping over the cheesecake filling in the jars.

Step 5: Optional Garnish

For an added touch of texture and flavor, sprinkle chopped nuts or shredded coconut on top of the cherry layer. This optional garnish not only enhances the visual appeal but also contributes to the overall sensory experience.

Step 6: Chilling and Setting

Place the assembled jars in the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours or overnight. This allows the layers to set and the flavors to meld, resulting in a perfect harmony of taste and texture.

Step 7: Serving in Style

Before serving, consider garnishing the tops of your No-Bake Cherry Cheesecake Jars with additional fresh cherries or a dusting of powdered erythritol. This final touch adds a touch of elegance to your dessert presentation.
