Method
Prepare the Crust
- In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted unsalted butter until it resembles damp sand. Press this mixture firmly into the bottoms of your jars.
Make the Cheesecake Filling
- Beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, approximately 2-3 minutes. Gradually add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until light and airy.
Incorporate the Whipped Cream
- Whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture in thirds.
Add Color (Optional)
- Divide the cheesecake mixture into two bowls if creating colorful layers. Mix in pink gel food coloring or freeze-dried strawberry powder until fully incorporated.
Layer the Ingredients
- Start layering with the pink cheesecake mixture at the bottom of the jars, then follow with the plain cheesecake mixture, filling nearly to the top.
Top with Whipped Cream
- Pipe a generous swirl of whipped cream on top of each jar to enhance their visual appeal.
Garnish and Serve
- Sprinkle pastel candy eggs and rainbow sprinkles over the whipped cream just before serving. Arrange the jars on a serving platter.

Notes
Chill the jars for at least 2 hours before serving for layers to set. Customize the colors and flavors as desired.
