Ingredients:
For the Cherry Cheesecake Jars:
- 32 ounces of Chobani Plain Greek non-fat Yogurt (zero points)
- 3 sheets of Great Value Honey Grahams (8 points)
- 1 package Jello cheesecake reduced-calorie instant pudding and pie filling (3 points)
- 12 ounces Great Value no sugar added cherry pie filling (5 points)
Instructions:
- Prep the Graham Cracker Base:
- Take half of a cracker, crush it, and sprinkle it onto the bottom of each jar. This creates a textured foundation for the layers to come.
- Mix the Greek Yogurt and Cheesecake Filling:
- In a bowl, blend Chobani Plain Greek non-fat Yogurt with the Jello cheesecake reduced-calorie instant pudding and pie filling. Ensure a smooth and creamy consistency.
- Weigh 5 oz of this delightful mixture into each jar, laying the groundwork for the cheesecake layer.
- Layer with Cherries:
- Weigh 2 oz of the Great Value no sugar added cherry pie filling into each jar. The burst of fruity sweetness adds a vibrant layer to our cheesecake creation.
- Repeat the Layers:
- Continue the layering process, repeating the steps to build a harmonious structure of graham cracker, cheesecake filling, and cherries.
- Visual Appeal:
- Consider the visual appeal as you layer each element. The translucent cherries against the creamy backdrop create a feast for the eyes before even reaching the palate.
- Chill and Set:
- Allow the Cherry Cheesecake Jars to chill in the refrigerator, giving the flavors time to meld and the textures to set. This step ensures that each spoonful is a perfect blend of creaminess and fruity freshness.
